We can add implicit defs/uses of the 'VG' register to the instructions to prevent the register allocator from rematerializing values in between streaming-mode changes, as the def/use of VG will further nail down the ordering that comes out of ISel. This avoids the heavy-handed approach to prevent any kind of rematerialization. While we could add 'VG' as a Use to all SVE instructions, we only really need to do this for instructions that are rematerializable, as the smstart/smstop instructions and pseudos act as scheduling barriers which is sufficient to prevent other instructions from being scheduled in between the streaming-mode-changing call sequence. However, we may revisit this in the future.
