The address to the win32 relocation handler can be stored in a special
object and be accessed by jit-install-seh. Doing it that way is better
because you can remove a lot of special code related to that relocation
type.
Windows 64bit abi requires callers to reserve 32 bytes of home space in
the stack frame which the callee is free to clobber. Previous versions
of VS didn't compile code to take advantage of the home space so it
worked fined. VS2015 however, is using the home space which causes
registers and flags that were supposed to be saved to be
overwritten. The fix is to put a little extra empty space at the bottom
of the stack frame.
Fix for reset_context() so that the top two stack items are never
removed from the stack so if the parent->init_context(ctx) call triggers
a GC, those items are never collected.
simplified a bit
The functions always operates on parent->ctx, so passing a context*
parameter is redundant. This enables shorter assembly code for
the (start-context-and-delete) and (set-context-and-delete) primitives.
All the bootstrap.factor scripts in cpu/ are run by the bootstrap to
make boot images, but aren't used otherwise. So I think it's cleaner to
put them in one directory inside the bootstrap hierarchy.
