Yes, *only* in that: with current trunk sp lives in the "sp" hard register
at the "return sp", which cannot work reliably (what value is returned?
It is unspecified).

I'm more concerned about what it looks like in RTL, but sure :-) What
*should* it do before RTL? Not much at all I think, just keep track that
this var is a register asm and that's that?
