Yeah, I wasn't sure about that either.  I modeled it after the way that
out-of-ssa conversion is done since LinearScan assumes that coalescing
has been done.

I think your suggestion of createRegisterCoalescer() is the right
solution in the long run.  My goal here was to submit the first phase
of a larger refactoring effort that separated coalescing from
live interval analysis but tried not to do anything else dramatic.
