+ * To run an STG function from C land, call
+ *
+ *             rv = StgRun(f,BaseReg);
+ *
+ * where "f" is the STG function to call, and BaseReg is the address of the
+ * RegTable for this run (we might have separate RegTables if we're running
+ * multiple threads on an SMP machine).
+ *
+ * In the end, "f" must JMP to StgReturn (defined below),
+ * passing the return-value "rv" in R1,
+ * to return to the caller of StgRun returning "rv" in
+ * the whatever way C returns a value.
+ *
+ * NOTE: StgRun/StgReturn do *NOT* load or store Hp or any
+ * other registers (other than saving the C callee-saves
+ * registers).  Instead, the called function "f" must do that
+ * in STG land.

+ * GCC will have assumed that pushing/popping of C-stack frames is
+ * going on when it generated its code, and used stack space
+ * accordingly.  However, we actually {\em post-process away} all
+ * such stack-framery (see \tr{ghc/driver/ghc-asm.lprl}). Things will
+ * be OK however, if we initially make sure there are

+
+       The x86_64 ABI specifies that on a procedure call, %rsp is
+       aligned on a 16-byte boundary + 8.  That is, the first
+       argument on the stack after the return address will be
+       16-byte aligned.  
+       
+       Which should be fine: RESERVED_C_STACK_BYTES+48 is a multiple
+       of 16 bytes.  
+       
+       BUT... when we do a C-call from STG land, gcc likes to put the
+       stack alignment adjustment in the prolog.  eg. if we're calling
+       a function with arguments in regs, gcc will insert 'subq $8,%rsp'
+       in the prolog, to keep %rsp aligned (the return address is 8
+       bytes, remember).  The mangler throws away the prolog, so we
+       lose the stack alignment.
+
+       The hack is to add this extra 8 bytes to our %rsp adjustment
+       here, so that throughout STG code, %rsp is 16-byte aligned,
+       ready for a C-call.  
+
+       A quick way to see if this is wrong is to compile this code:
+
+          main = System.Exit.exitWith ExitSuccess
+
+       And run it with +RTS -sstderr.  The stats code in the RTS, in
+       particular statsPrintf(), relies on the stack alignment because
+       it saves the %xmm regs on the stack, so it'll fall over if the
+       stack isn't aligned, and calling exitWith from Haskell invokes
+       shutdownHaskellAndExit using a C call.
+
+       Future gcc releases will almost certainly break this hack...

+   OLD COMMENT from GHC-3.02:
+
+   We want tailjumps to be calls, because `call xxx' is the only Sparc
+   branch that allows an arbitrary label as a target.  (Gcc's ``goto
+   *target'' construct ends up loading the label into a register and
+   then jumping, at the cost of two extra instructions for the 32-bit
+   load.)
+
+   When entering the threaded world, we stash our return address in a
+   known location so that \tr{%i7} is available as an extra
+   callee-saves register.  Of course, we have to restore this when
+   coming out of the threaded world.
+
+   I hate this god-forsaken architecture.  Since the top of the
+   reserved stack space is used for globals and the bottom is reserved
+   for outgoing arguments, we have to stick our return address
+   somewhere in the middle.  Currently, I'm allowing 100 extra
+   outgoing arguments beyond the first 6.  --JSM
+
+   Updated info (GHC 4.06): we don't appear to use %i7 any more, so
+   I'm not sure whether we still need to save it.  Incedentally, what
