Reserving a register assigned to a global variable makes sense. Not sure about 
local variables.
llvm language reference manual says this about llvm.read_register / 
llvm.write_register intrinsics:

That said, I think we can go with the current implementation as long as it 
satisfies the need of the targeted software (Linux kernel I presume).
