Try to avoid scanning the fixed list. On architectures with a non-stupid

number of regs (e.g. most riscs), many functions won't need to use callee
clobbered registers.  Do a speculative check to see if we can get a free
register without processing the fixed list (which has all of these).  This
saves a lot of time on machines with lots of callee clobbered regs (e.g.
ppc and itanium, also x86).

This reduces ppc llc compile time from 184s -> 172s on kc++.  This is probably
worth FAR FAR more on itanium though.
