> The question is: should LICM really check register pressure if we can rely on rematerialization instead? I have started this with a very similar situation in AMDGPU, LICM was hoisting instructions out of the loop and we end up spilling in the loop. A proper rematerialization fixes this without burdening the LICM. I.e. this change shall probably fix the bug itself.
If this fixes the bug completely then rewrite the comments to reflect that and tag the revision as closing the bug. If it doesn't fix the bug in all cases then this test needs updating to be a case that's still broken.
