TCG knows what registers may be clobbered by a call into
host C code (this is set up in the tcg_target_call_clobber_regs
regset by code in tcg_target_init()), so the register allocator
will either avoid using those registers for values that must
be preserved across the call, or else it will spill them to
memory.
