Currently, the only check for CLASS_LIKELY_SPILLED registers is for instuctions at the end of a basic block; this is insufficient, since a set/use pair of a CLASS_LIKELY_SPILLED register can be in the middle of the block. When the scheduler inserts an instruction between into this pair which needs a reload with the same class as the likely spilled register, a reload failure is inevitable for calsses of size 1.
