In order to have the correct registers live I need to free up a temp
register which involves loading lr and sp earlier than the
call-preserved register set. I could do this by offsetting into the
jmpbuf but it seems more natural just to move lr and sp to the front
of the jmp_buf and load registers in ascending order. As far as I am
aware the layout of jmp_buf is completely opaque so I don't see why
this would cause any problems?
