I was looking at some assembly output while testing something else and I
noticed that it's not the case.  Maybe LoopUnrollLimit=1 changes the way
code is emitted, but in this small loop there is no other use of src and
we have a spill:

042   B2: #	B2 B3 <- B1 B2 	Loop: B2-B2 inner stride: not constant
Freq: 1e+06
042   	movl    R11, RBP	# spill
045   	movzbl  R11, R11	# int & 0xFF
049   	addl    RBX, R11	# int
04c   	incl    RBP	# int
04e   	cmpl    RBP, #2147483647
054   	jl,s   B2	# loop end  P=1.000000 C=809121.000000
