Yes.

For instance, vector instructions are often implemented without TCG 
temporaries, but instead using ld/st to load the data from the ENV pointer 
directly.  You can see that in the ARM and i386 targets.

Otherwise, there are sometimes less-used system values that do not warrent a 
TCG temporary.  You can see that in the alpha target.
