I wonder if it makes sense to limit this to returns, but also whether 3 might work better than 2 as the multiplier.
But I guess there's a risk it might get downgraded from registers... I really wish LLVM modeled ABIs more precisely so we can control that.

let size = arg.layout.size;

if arg.layout.is_unsized() || size > max_by_val_size {

I was hoping removing this string comparison would help perf but I guess not?
