+-- | The assignment of virtual registers to stack slots
+
+-- We have lots of stack slots. Memory-to-memory moves are a pain on most
+-- architectures. Therefore, we avoid having to generate memory-to-memory moves
+-- by simply giving every virtual register its own stack slot.
+
+-- The StackMap stack map keeps track of virtual register - stack slot
+-- associations and of which stack slots are still free. Once it has been
+-- associated, a stack slot is never "freed" or removed from the StackMap again,
+-- it remains associated until we are done with the current CmmProc.
