OK, that makes sense.  I will apply your patch with a rewritten commit
message which explains the issue - the problem is not that there is one
less register in the cache than is in use, it's that there is one less
register in the cache than is *cached*.  As I say the code deliberately
doesn't cache one of the registers.

Right, that makes sense with the above.
