The intent was to allow for use cases where even modification of `r3` is 
considered intrusive (similar to an interrupt handler, but with a standard 
return routine such that `__attribute__((interrupt))` is not appropriate). What 
are the semantics of `preserve_most`/`preserve_all`? Would it be appropriate to 
implement `preserve_most` as saving general registers but not float registers 
(as x86 and ARM currently do), then `preserve_all` additionally saves float 
registers + the return register?
