    > [arm] Restrict grouping pushes before a TailCall to registers only
    >
    > We optimize parallel moves performed before a TailCall by grouping adjacent
    > pushes. This way, we may use a single instruction to push multiple registers at
    > once. However, we also have support for pushing immediates and stack slots for
    > which the benefit is questionnable therefore this patch removes support for
    > them.
    >
    > Concerning immediate pushes, it looks like a mistake since we do not have
    > support for this case in `AssembleMove` so this patch removes it. Furthermore,
    > if we add a test for this case, we see that a `push ip` instruction is
    > generated, effectively pushing whatever was in `ip` at the time instead of
    > pushing a constant.
    >
    > Concerning stack slot pushes, we generate a more or less equivalent sequence of
    > instructions.
    >
    > Finally, grouping floating point pushes is not used anywhere so this patch
    > removes support for this also.
