Ah ok that makes sense to me at least for RISC-V, where a single LMUL 8 spill would be roughly the same as 8 * LMUL 1 spills. Does this hold for other targets though? E.g. could it be possible that spilling a register that uses two regunits costs the same as spilling another register that only uses one regunit?
