new register allocator: please validate me on PPC.

[Magnus Jonsson]

Hi Ben,

I have validated on my linux PPC machine and it looks good! All stages 
build and I see no difference in validate's output with and without your 
patch. I haven't tried using -fregs-graph.

I'd give you an account if my machine wasn't behind a NAT.
