This can't be done just by changing the check.

Without the line "AllocatedVFP = 17;", AllocatedVFPs will be set to 16 for the following two cases:
 * 8 doubles - exactly fills the VFP registers
 * 9 doubles - fills the VFP registers with no gaps, plus one double on the stack

However, we need to differentiate between the two cases, as in the first we can split a struct between the GPRs and stack, but in the second case we cannot. (AAPCS rule C.5)

Because of this, I am using (AllocatedVFPs > NumVFPs) to signify that at least one CPRC has been allocated to the stack, and the same with AllocatedGPRs. Once AllocatedVFPs > NumVFPs, we don't actually need to track the exact number of bytes used on the stack, only that this is non-zero.
