Two fold;
1. given the method name `isNonallocatableRegisterCalleeSave`, we can actually tell if a given register is allocatable or callee saved. Do work that more closely matches the identifier.
2. The method accepts a `const MachineFunction *` that is only really used to validate the callee saved registers list. Otherwise in `PPCRegisterInfo::isNonallocatableRegisterCalleeSave()` I need to have `(void)MF;` (I think) to silence any unused param warnings (or I could just revert the whole latest change).

Perhaps there's a more concise name than `isNonallocatableRegisterCalleeSave` if it's not actually going to tell you whether a register is BOTH non-allocatable AND callee saved (if we revert back to the target-independent base method just returning false)?  I recognize I'm in bikeshed territory here and probably should just get back to work.
