At the time of this thread I have also gathered some papers related to
this.
Minimum Cost Interprocedural Register Allocation - Steven M. Kurlander,
Charles N. Fischer
Global Register Allocation at Link Time - David W. Wall
Interprocedural Register Allocation for Lazy Function Languages - Urban
Boquist
A Simple Interprocedural Register Allocation Algorithm and Its
Effectiveness for LISP - PETER A. STEENKISTE and JOHN L. HENNESSY

But due to less interest from the community I thought that this is not
useful for LLVM. Apparently GCC has some work on this .
