JIT/i386 is up to date now that is: it doesn't do any absolute register addressing anymore.
So what next:
* deprecate the usage of allmost all register stack push and pops?
I think we don't need them anymore. Register preservering is done as part of the call sequence.
Are we still planning to move the current return continuation and current sub, out of the registers and into their own spots in the interpreter context (in order to avoid the PMC creation overhead in the common case, etc.)? (Or, have we already done this?)
