Basic blocks in LIR should only ever end in control flow instructions such as jump or return. PadPatchPoint is not control flow, so we should not emit it at the end of blocks when lowering.tenderlovemaking (Aaron Patterson)
We would like to do type matching on the VRegId. Extracting the VRegID from a usize makes the code a bit easier to understand and refactor. MemBase uses a VReg, and there is also a VReg in Opnd. We should be sharing types between these...tenderlovemaking (Aaron Patterson)
