The issue with slow compile-time was caused by an assert in AArch64RegisterInfo.cpp. The assert invokes 'checkAllSuperRegsMarked' after adding all the reserved registers. This call gets very expensive after adding the _HI registers due to the way the function searches in the 'Exception' list, which is expected to be a small list but isn't (the patch added 190 _HI regs). It was possible to rewrite the code in such a way that the _HI registers are marked as reserved after the check. This makes the problem go away entirely and restores compile-time to what it was before (tested for `check-runtimes`, which previously showed a ~5x slowdown).
