//
// This file defines a pass that optimizes call sequences on x86.
// Currently, it converts movs of function parameters onto the stack into
// pushes. This is beneficial for two main reasons:
// 1) The push instruction encoding is much smaller than a stack-ptr-based mov.
// 2) It is possible to push memory arguments directly. So, if the
//    the transformation is performed pre-reg-alloc, it can help relieve
//    register pressure.
