This CL avoids redundant loads of the instance from the frame by caching it in a register if possible. This register will be the first one to be cleared once we run out of registers (hence it's called a "volatile register"). On local tests, this seems to reduce most redundant loads within a function, and it also reduces the load for the stack check in the function prologue. After the stack check, we need to discard the cached instance though, since the potential runtime call for the stack check might clobber it. This will be addressed in a follow-up CL by re-loading the cached instance after the stack check. This is expected to remove another good chunk of instance loads, because the instance would initially be available in a register when starting the function code.
