disabling arithmetic nodes with memory operands

[Christian Wimmer]

The AllocatableValue fields of LIR instructions, which reference the 
operands, are annotated with @Def, @Use, or @Temp. As part of the 
annotation, you specify the allowed locations. For example, @Use({REG, 
STACK}) means that the register allocator can use the operand directly 
from a stack slot. If you change it to @Use({REG}), then the register 
allocator emits a load into a register first if the operand was spilled.
