      runtime: remove another TODO · bf9ad708
      Austin Clements authored
      I experimented with having the compiler spill the two registers that
      are clobbered by the write barrier fast path, but it slightly slows
      down compilebench, which is a good write barrier benchmark:
      
      name       old time/op     new time/op     delta
      Template       175ms ± 0%      176ms ± 1%    ~           (p=0.393 n=10+10)
      Unicode       83.6ms ± 1%     85.1ms ± 2%  +1.79%         (p=0.000 n=9+10)
      GoTypes        585ms ± 0%      588ms ± 1%    ~            (p=0.173 n=8+10)
      Compiler       2.78s ± 1%      2.81s ± 2%  +0.81%        (p=0.023 n=10+10)
      SSA            7.11s ± 1%      7.15s ± 1%  +0.59%        (p=0.029 n=10+10)
      Flate          115ms ± 1%      116ms ± 2%    ~           (p=0.853 n=10+10)
      GoParser       144ms ± 2%      145ms ± 2%    ~           (p=1.000 n=10+10)
      Reflect        389ms ± 1%      390ms ± 1%    ~           (p=0.481 n=10+10)
      Tar            185ms ± 2%      185ms ± 2%    ~           (p=0.529 n=10+10)
      XML            205ms ± 0%      207ms ± 2%    ~            (p=0.065 n=9+10)
      
      Since this didn't pan out, remove the TODO.

      I experimented with changing the write barrier to take the value in SI
      rather than AX to improve register allocation. It had no effect on
      performance and only made the "hello world" text 0.07% smaller, so
      let's just remove the comment.
