Comment (by simonmar):

 This is unrelated to global registers, in fact.  There is a related issue
 with global registers which is described here:
 https://phabricator.haskell.org/diffusion/GHC/browse/master/compiler/cmm/CmmNode.hs;e9e61f18a548b70693f4ccd245bc56335c94b498$205-218
 But the issue here is different: see my comment on the diff.
