[LLVMdev] Move instruction

[Karhu, Abhinav R]

Hi owen,
Can you please elaborate as to what should I do? Find all the instruction which have r2 in it and replace all of them with r1 and then remove the load instruction? 
Thanks
Abhinav

You don't need to copy r1.  Just replace all uses of r2 with r1, and  
get rid of the definition of r2.
