    [compiler] Fall back to mid-tier register allocation · 184213d3
    Clemens Backes authored
    Huge functions can take a really long time (several minutes) in register
    allocation. This is caused by a big number of virtual registers combined
    with a big number of blocks.
    We can avoid such long-running register allocation by falling back to
    the mid-tier register allocation if we detect a huge number of virtual
    registers.
    Note that this is mostly relevant for bigger WebAssembly modules, but we
    implement it as a general TurboFan flag.
    
    The flag is off by default for now, since there seem to be bugs lurking
    in the mid-tier register allocator. Once those are fixed, we can stage
    it behind --future and then ship it.
