So this is where we rely on the calling convention being caller-cleanup
(cdecl has that).

I looked at the GCC preprocessor symbols but couldn't find anything that
seems relevant to the calling convention in use, so barring that, the
best option might to be have a boot-time self-test that triggers this.
Then we'll quickly know if all architectures handle this correctly.
