The LCC book (A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation
[Addison-Wesley, 1995, ISBN 0805316701, ISBN-13 9780805316704]) has very
good descriptions of pattern-matching instruction selectors and simple
register allocators.  LLVM doesn't work exactly the same way but the
concepts are similar enough to translate fairly well.
