[LLVMdev] RegisterScavenging on targets without subregisters

[Scott Michel]

No, I wasn't having a management lobotomy moment. If the target's registers
have no subregisters, SubUsed is false and the assert gets tripped.

Ok, back to the original question: What was the original intent in this code
(lines 186-193 in lib/CodeGen/RegisterScavenging.cpp)?
