We used actual hardware registers (8, I believe).  Register
allocation was not inter-procedural.  I tend to agree with
Henry that generating assembler might be the easiest way to
get things working and given that Fluet doesn't have a lot
of real-world compiler experience, probably safer.  I do
agree with Steve that it might be sensible to punt register
allocation for now, stack allocating all locals and
temporaries.
