 > Note #2: On x86-64 the high byte registers (e.g. `ah`) are only available when used as an explicit register. Specifying the `reg_byte` register class for an operand will always allocate a low byte register.

 Additional register classes may be added in the future based on demand (e.g. MMX, x87, etc).
