+Reclaim SRA registers when running 32-bit x86 applications
+Currently FEX hardcodes GPR and FPR static register allocation to be 16 registers apiece.

+This is wasteful on 32-bit x86 since those applications only have access to 8 GPRs and 8 FPRs (plus MMX but we don't SRA though).

+

+If we are running a 32-bit application we should change our register allocator so it reclaims those remaining 8+8 registers as temporaries. This should give 32-bit applications a minor performance boost but nothing significant.
