--- Comment #5 from Jason A. Donenfeld <jason at zx2c4 dot com> ---
> This one is fine/ok as GCC is using k0 as a spill register rather than spilling to memory. 32bit x86 has limited registers and all. There is nothing odd about this one even.

Right, okay, I see what's happening there. I suppose it's a point of debate as
to whether using k0 is actually faster than having the frontend optimize away
the stack access or whether it misses that and there's a memory latency penalty
for spilling. Presumably the risk of penalty is too high, I guess.

For the original example, though, it doesn't seem to even be saving a spill.
The non-k0 code is clearly better than the k0 code. I don't know much about how
the allocator works and interacts with various passes of the optimizer, but I
wonder if spilling to a mask register should have a higher weight than spilling
to a gpr?
