The method is extracting the minimum number of [1] non-zero free
registers/entries across all register classes. This means that if we
have saturated all register storage for a particular class, renaming
will stop as a whole.
I believe it does make sense to keep renaming and only block renaming in
case an instruction requiring the particular register type is
encountered. This would happen with the Rename::renameInsts method
