    X87: Return different allocatable double register number for X87 turbofan / crankshaft seperately. · 4fe366f1

       Currently X87 turbofan backend use only one double register. But crankshaft needs to use more than 1
       double register. The reason is that the X87 register is stack-based and the register allocator use
       the same algorithm for all registers. So the backend of X87 needs to maintain the X87 stack status
       between basic blocks during code generation. But for Turbofan backend, it can only handle discrete
       platform-related LIRs. It's difficult to maintain the x87 stack status during different basic blocks.
       So we use the register configuration selection mechanism to return different register configuration
       for X87 turbofan and crankshaft seperately.
