Achievements:
* Figgured out the register allocator... you have to think forward and
backward in some parts! :headache:
* Finished a wip patch that will make the fp and simd code play nicely
in the register allocator when they share a hard reg bank.

Objectives:
* Further refine the patch. And see if there are any other issues that
might come up with it.

Hey, forgive my ignorance, but is this usable yet? I've been looking
forward testing this out for a while ;) if it's not, do ya have a
rough eta on when I should start testing and reporting issues back to
you?

It compiles and runs but... it needs to be refined.

Apply the patch to svn head. Happy hacking!

Oh so far, you need a amd64 or compatible machine with a 64 bit os to test the patch.
