/** <P> Should be able to be used on all amd64 platforms we support
    (Linux/amd64) to implement JavaThread's
    "currentFrameGuess()" functionality. Input is an AMD64ThreadContext;
    output is SP, FP, and PC for an AMD64Frame. Instantiation of the
    AMD64Frame is left to the caller, since we may need to subclass
    AMD64Frame to support signal handler frames on Unix platforms. </P>

    <P> Algorithm is to walk up the stack within a given range (say,
    512K at most) looking for a plausible PC and SP for a Java frame,
    also considering those coming in from the context. If we find a PC
    that belongs to the VM (i.e., in generated code like the
    interpreter or CodeCache) then we try to find an associated EBP.
    We repeat this until we either find a complete frame or run out of
    stack to look at. </P> */
