must be reverted for things to work again. Andi, what did you
want to cure with it? Clearly, when rSP isn't the CFA register
anymore, there must not (normally) be adjustments to the
CFA offset. Similarly, when a register was saved already and
it's not its spill location that changes, it must not be marked
as being saved a second time.
