Hmm... on second thought, do these programs use lots of i16's? Agner
reports that on Ivy Bridge and Haswell there is no partial register access
cost for the i8 low subregs. He doesn't seem to mention anything about
16-bit, so I assume that the partial register stall is still there for the
i16 subregs??? I don't have an Ivy Bridge or Haswell to test on
unfortunately :(
