* Track which registers a block clobbers without using, then take advantage of this knowledge
Low hanging fruit: when compiling a block that links to that block.
stfd -- guaranteed in memory * Track more dependencies between instructions, e.g. avoiding PPC_FP code, single/double
cmpl conversion, movddup on non-paired singles, etc where possible.
mulli * Support loads/stores directly from xmm registers in jit_util and the backpatcher; this might
stfs help AMD a lot since gpr/xmm transfers are slower there.
stwu * Smarter register allocation in general; maybe learn to drop values once we know they won't be
lb/stzx used again before being overwritten?
* More flexible reordering; there's limits to how far we can go because of exception handling
bcx - optimize! and such, but it's currently limited to integer ops only. This can definitely be made better.
