+// This file implements a live variable analysis pass for the RISC-V backend.
+// The pass computes liveness information for virtual and physical registers
+// in RISC-V machine functions, optimized for RV64 (64-bit RISC-V architecture).
+//
+// The analysis performs a backward dataflow analysis to compute
+// liveness information. Also updates the kill flags on register operands.

What is the alternative to kill flag at the moment? Do we keep a separate data structure to maintain the live-ranges. Or maybe if there was an RFC I can follow along from there.
