Description

xref issue #777 now that we're using drmgr and splitting into formal phases, we should do our analysis just once which will not only fit in better w/ drmgr's recommendations but also be more performant:

store in bit array in new note fields

currently doing liveness at top of bb to pick scratch reg.
then doing forward liveness walk in fastpath_pre_instrument() and in
fastpath_pre_app_instr()! shouldn't those 2 have exact same results?
