The code is kind of silly, it moves stuff around between the integer
and fp registers, probably an artifact of the SPARC calling
conventions (passing doubles in the integer registers). But shouldn't
inlining get rid of this?
The functions are emitted, there are not inlined. How can inlining
help this situation? We have to follow the argument passing rules
as they are in this case.
