# This is not a regular function, so it won't be idiomatic.
# Registers must be properly restored.
# Registers can be spilled, but that modifies the stack and needs to be
# cleaned up.
# Overhead:
# 62 + n*6 instructions to push n bytes.
# If we just emitted code to push n zeroes, it would be:
# 5 bytes for 4 zero bytes, so 1.25 bytes per zero. And that's not even
# instructions.
# But on the other hand it would destroy the instruction cache, where this
# approach requires 15 instructions, fixed.
# n must be positive
