[LLVMdev] should PEI::calculateFrameObjectOffsets align the stack?

This sounds like the ADJCALLSTACK DOWN/UP 'instructions' around the call 
aren't set right, or you have declared a SP offset.  It doesn't look like 
the ARM backend does this, so this is probably the problem.

If the PEI stuff knows the right offsets, it should do the alignment for 
you.
