OK but this is another calling convention not usefull for most of
language becouse they don't allow multiple return value so these language
don't use some register.

And you must add a pointer to additional return if you want to return
more than 14 values.

ok but if you want to have the minimum of dependencies in your code you
need some temp reg.
I think it was difficult in the start of your code if you have only 2
temp reg...
