Summary

Part of patchset to add initial support for ARM64EC.

I'm not completely sure I understand the reason for this restriction, but Microsoft documentation says that asynchronous signals clobber these registers, so we can't ever use them.

As far as I know, none of these registers have any hardcoded meaning, so reserving them shouldn't have any significant side-effects.

The comment says v16-v31 but the code seems to go from 15 to 31 - is that a typo? (Based on the comment in the testcase, the code is right and the comment above is the one that is wrong.)

Microsoft docs say v16-v31. Will fix.

Are you using the "B" name here so that all the various size registers up to "V" get marked as reserved too? (if not you could use "V" to match the comment)

Yes, using the "B" name so markSuperRegs finds all the registers.
