Subject: [PATCH] x86/win64: disable runtime stack frame checks with msvc
 around built assembly

MSVC can add truntime code that checks if a stack frame is mismanaged
however our custom assembly delibrately accesses and modifies the parent
stack frame.  Fortunately we can disable that specific check for the
function call so do that.
