   Mike tends to post once and go.  At least, he's been doing so on   
   alt.os.development for a few years now.   
      
   Anyway, he suggested using ESP only.  So, he's omitted using the frame   
   pointer EBP.  He also said no PUSHes or POPs, only MOVs.   
      
   How do you find the prior stackframe without having saved it via EBP?   
   How do you clean up the stack without PUSHes and POPs?   
      
   So, he's likely using using the "maximum # of arguments" count to   
   either manually restore ESP, or using a "RET imm16" instruction for   
   stack cleanup.   
      
   This should be similar to -fomit-frame-pointer for GCC.
