I may be wrong but I feel that most of the existing compiler
technology that is specific to RISC is irrelevant to VM. Consider
pipelining, register optimisation, etc. Those are a big help to RISC
but won't matter to VM. Accessing a VM register is no more efficient
than accessing a VM memory. May be somebody has written on VM compiler
optimisation (granted that there are a lot of VMs out there!)
