Jakob Stoklund Olesen 8627ea91cb Split around single instructions to enable register class inflation. ...

Normally, we don't create a live range for a single instruction in a
basic block, the spiller does that anyway. However, when splitting a
live range that belongs to a proper register sub-class, inserting these
extra COPY instructions completely remove the constraints from the
remainder interval, and it may be allocated from the larger super-class.

The spiller will mop up these small live ranges if we end up spilling
anyway. It calls them snippets.
