I looked at that but it's not very helpful.  It just creates some generic
instructions that get emitted as a code sequence.  It doesn't say anything
about the stack frame.

Where in the backend is the operation to create and destroy the stack frame
either inserted or deleted?  That's where I need to make a change.
