// #610 — i64 fixed-ABI expansion wrappers.
//
// The hand-written multi-instruction i64 cores (rotl/rotr and the div/rem
// shift-subtract loops) compute in FIXED low registers. Before #610 the
// div/rem arms ignored their operand fields outright (hardcoded R0:R1 /
// R2:R3 in, result to R0:R1) and the rot arms used R3/R4 scratch that
// collided with selector-assigned registers — then restored the saved
// scratch OVER the result (`POP {R4}` with rd_lo == R4), so the op
// returned the caller's stale register: 0 for every input under qemu.
//
// These wrappers make each core honor its register parameters:
//   1. save R0-R3,
//   2. marshal the operand registers into the core's fixed input regs via
//      the stack (permutation-safe: every source is read before any fixed
//      register is written),
//   3. run the fixed-reg core (self-preserving for R4+; R12 is encoder
//      scratch and never allocatable, #212),
//   4. MOV the result pair from R0:R1 into the selector's rd pair,
//   5. restore R0-R3, skipping any register the result now occupies.
//
// All emitted lengths are register-independent so the optimized path's
// byte-size estimator (`estimate_arm_byte_size`, pinned by the
// estimator↔encoder agreement oracle #498/#511) stays a constant per op.
// ======================================================================
