Thanks, Carl.

Could you separate the Mach-O related changes from the Win64 tail call fixes, please?

The reason for having a dynamic register class was to avoid creating new Windows-specific pseudo-instructions, but you still have a bunch of new WIN* pseudos.

Takumi recently submitted a patch to do the exact same thing. I think he managed to avoid the new instructions. I think his solution was better, assuming it works for you.
