Typebarrier requests a temporary variable for TypeBarrier. This isn't needed on x86/arm so this increases register pressure on those architectures. Should be really easy to use a BogusTemp instead
Assignee: general → hv1989
Attached patch PatchSplinter Review
I introduced tempToSplitValue() that can be used during lowering for a temp that will only be used for splitting a Value into a payload or a type. This will return a BogusTemp on x86/arm since there we don't need a temp to split a value and a normal temp on x64.

This will probably only introduce an improvement on x86, since register pressure is worst there. Octane isn't blocked on this, but I saw a 2% improvement on ss-cordic

Something like ToUnboxTempRegister is a bit clearer I think.

Nit: s/Split/Unbox here as well.

But also incorrect, since it can also get used to split the type and unboxing refer to getting the payload only... That's why I didn't take anything with "unbox".
