 These are all the available `callee save` registers on x86. `callee save` are used as in ghc generated code now saving and restoring of these registers are needed due to there new special use and because GHC uses continuation passing style, so a `'ret'` statement is never actually generated. And since they are `callee save`, foreign code can also be called without any need to handle the `Cmm` registers.

 The LLVM back-end can't handle `CmmAlign` or `CmmDataLabel`. A panic occurs if either is encountered. A `CmmDataLabel` is expected at the very start of each list of `CmmStatic`. It is removed and used as the name for the structure and constant instance.

 This is translated into a LLVM string. Ascii characters are used when they are printable, escaped hex values otherwise. A null termination is added.
