I tried it out, and it now is much worse *with* the reg vars than
without (and -O2 vs. -O3 makes no difference at all). It doesn't look
to have used the pre-determined allocation at all. The difference at
expand time is huge already; maybe some things weren't optimised at
tree level with the register vars? It's a bit big to really look into ;-)
