[llvm-dev] What pattern string corresponds to CopyToReg?

[Craig Topper via llvm-dev]

CopyToReg is not handle by patterns. It should be passed through isel
unchanged. It’s part of a special list of ISD opcodes that don’t change in
SelectioDAGISel::SelectCodeCommon

It will then be turned into a TargetOpcode::COPY in
InstrEmitter::EmitSpecialNode when the DAG is turned into MachineInstrs.
