Currently it will always spill / restore the whole vreg but only spilling the parts that are actually live would be a nice addition in the future. Looking at r192119': if "mtlo" writes to $LO and sets $HI to an unpredictable value, then it should just have an additional (dead) def operand for $hi, shouldn't it?

What I didn't mention in r192119 is that mthi/lo clobbers the other sub-register only if the contents of hi and lo are produced by mult or other arithmetic instructions (div, madd, etc.) It doesn't have this side-effect if it is produced by another mthi/lo. So I don't think making mthi/lo clobber the other half would work....

I've been working on patches to improve subregister liveness tracking on llvm and I wanted to inform the llvm community about the overal design/motivation for them. I will send the patches to llvm-commits later today.
