 For unboxed tuple returns, there are an arbitrary number of possibly
 unboxed return values, some of which will be in registers, and the
-others will be on the stack, with gaps left for tagging the unboxed
-objects.  If a heap check is required, we need to fill in these tags.

-The code below will cover all cases for the x86 architecture (where R1
-is the only VanillaReg ever used).  For other architectures, we'll
-have to do something about saving and restoring the other registers.

+fields into pointers & non-pointers, and pass the number of each to
