registers, which haven't already been saved by the caller. The
`PreserveMost` calling convention is very similar to the `cold` calling
convention in terms of caller/callee-saved registers, but they are used for
different types of function calls. `coldcc` is for function calls that are
rarely executed, whereas `preserve_mostcc` function calls are intended to be
on the hot path and definitely executed a lot. Furthermore `preserve_mostcc`
doesn't prevent the inliner from inlining the function call.
This calling convention will be used by a future version of the ObjectiveC
runtime and should therefore still be considered experimental at this time.
