Well, yes and no.  The spilled values are put into the stack frame.
The space is allocated by calls to assign_stack_local().  But there is
no predictable ordering of the spilled pseudo-registers, if that is
what you mean.  The registers are spilled as needed as the compiler
works through the instructions.
