* "extern register" is a special storage class implemented by 6c, 8c, etc.
* on machines with lots of registers, it allocates a register that will not be
* used in generated code. on the x86, it allocates a slot indexed by a
* segment register.
* On the ARM, it is an actual register; elsewhere it is a slot in thread-
* local storage indexed by a segment register. See zasmhdr in
* src/cmd/dist/buildruntime.c for details, and be aware that the linker may
* make further OS-specific changes to the compiler's output. For example,
* 6l/linux rewrites 0(GS) as -16(FS).
*
* amd64: allocated downwards from R15
* x86: allocated upwards from 0(GS)
* arm: allocated downwards from R10
