For this specific case, I previous intention was optimizing codes

rx <- 0
...
use rx
...
ry <- 0
use ry

into

rx <- 0
...
use rx
...
use rx

In this manner, I guess the register renaming won't help,
since the transformation introduces true dependency, right?

How could this happen if middle end does not know the specific
processor? What I can image is there should be a way in which
back end provides information.
