Hi,
This patch includes the following changes:
1) Determine register pressure automatically by the number of available
registers for allocation.
Currently, INTPRESSURE is hard-coded no matter whether heapbase
or framepointer register is available for RA.
2) x86: Machines with AVX3 have 2x more XMM registers.
The pressure threshold should be improved for both RA and LCM.
Currently, only scheduling takes more XMM registers into
consideration.
3) aarch64: add a new jtreg case
In bug 8183543, this case caused many compilation failures with
"failed spill-split-recycle sanity check". This test case is
imported to ensure no regression failure.
Inconsistent pressure threshold value with the number of available
registers will bring unnecessary spilling in some scenarios.
I wrote a simple example as one case:

With this patch, 4 extra spill copies are eliminated on AArch64.

Could you please help review this patch?
Best Regards,
Joshua
