[PATCH 2/3] x86 CFI generation script recognizes when %ax, %ah, %al, etc. are overwritten

[Alex Dowad <alexinbeijing@gmail.com>]

this may help a debugger to know which variable values from higher stack frames
are still available and can legitimately be printed.

thanks to R. Felker for this suggestion.
