Description

Problems with the current code:
- Functionality is very complex and scattered all over the place
- There are likely bugs and/or inefficiencies
- Unclear how it works with Golang asm
- Need something like `-fomit-frame-pointer`
- Does not use read zone
- Inefficient addressing of storage for clobbered xmm registers when stack is realigned (store/load instructions use `rsp`-based addressing instead of `rbp`)
- Argument addressing does not switch to `rbp` when stack is realigned
