Those are the only registers which are ever needed as the base for
finding the previous stack frame.  99% of the time it's sp or bp, the
other registers are needed for aligned stacks and entry code.

Using the actual register numbers isn't an option because I don't need
them all and they need to fit in a small number of bits.

This construct might be useful for other arches, which is why I called
it "FP" instead of "BP".  But then I ruined that with the last 3 :-)
