Well, I applied it but it's really broken as something can be.  Just an
example:

+       /* 
+        * FPU emulator may have it's own trampoline active just
+        * above the user stack, 16-bytes before the next lowest
+        * 16 byte boundary.  Try to avoid trashing it.
+        */
+       sp -= 32;

So the whole thing needs some overhaul.
