I was thinking the same thing. If you run out of regs with 64 of them
available, then you should start reusing registers once their values are
not required anymore.

No, to the best of my understanding. But I will verify that tomorrow. What
I was thinking, though, is that there is some register dependency
introduced by the new regs. Is this possible?
