 [https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/ticket/8834/lines1_good#L2295
 Corresponding code] from "good" cmm is:
 {{{
            I64[Sp - 32] = _s2d4::I64;
            P64[Sp - 24] = _s2d5::P64;
            I64[Sp - 16] = _s2d6::I64;
            I64[Sp - 8] = _s2d7::I64;
            Sp = Sp - 32;
            call (stg_gc_fun)(R1) args: 40, res: 0, upd: 8;
        c2gR:
            if (%MO_S_Le_W64(_s2d7::I64, 0)) goto c2gN; else goto c2gO;

 }}}
 Not that it restores `R5` - it use no `R5` at all.
