When the tightest class including both SPECIAL_REGS and GENERAL_REGS is ALL_REGS, artificially special-casing for *either* to or from, hits artificially hard. This gets the port back to the code quality before the previous patch ("cris: Remove CRIS v32 ACR artefacts") - except for_vfprintf_r and _vfiprintf_r in newlib (still .8 and .4% larger).
