Branch relaxation requires 2 additional SGPRs for AMDGPU to handle the
case when an indirect branch target is too far away. The register
scavanger may not find available registers, which causes a “did not find
scavenging index” assert to occur in assignRegToScavengingIndex.
In this patch, we estimate before register allocation whether an
indirect branch is likely to be needed, and reserve 2 SGPRs if the
branch distance is found to be above a threshold. The distance threshold
is an approximation as the exact code size and branch distance are
unknown prior to register allocation.
Patch by Corbin Robeck. Thanks!
