One thought -- the information imcc computes should be platform-independent. e.g. it could pass a control flow graph to the JIT, but it probably shouldn't do register allocation for a specific number of registers. How much worse do you think it would be to have IMCC just rank the Parrot registers in order of decreasing spill cost, then have the JIT take the top N, where N is the number of available architectural registers?
