Save a bit of space (about 38 bytes of flash)

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

In general, the available registers are underutilized in binaries produced by 
the C compiler.  Especially the "not-quite-general-purpose" registers R2 to 
R15.  I was poking around to see if these could be used to save some space...

Apparently we could save over 30 bytes of flash space by moving the "address" 
and "length" variables into registers instead of memory.  This also requires 
manually inlining getlen(), or it gets bigger for unobvious reasons.

Obviously this is not a bug, and is not currently needed.  However, it might be 
useful to get back some space in the future.  Diffs attached.
