Then why changing its optype?

It makes the assertion fails:

MachineOperand& MO = inst.getOperand(n);
if (MRegisterInfo::isVirtualRegister(MO.getReg())) {
  assert(MachineOperand::MO_VirtualRegister == MO.getType());
  ...
}

Is that alright? 

Some of my code using MachineOperand::getType() instead of
MRegisterInfo::is{Physical,Virtual}Register() to check the register
type.
