[LLVMdev] jit X86 target compilation callback bug

[Anton Korobeynikov]

Hello

How so? The stack grows downwards, thus this realignment just equivalent
to "sub esp, some_value" with some_value being less than 16.
We don't use register save area inside the compilation callback,
however, since we're generating stubs "by hands".

What is "this" function?
