Instead of pessimistically copying at least 64 bytes from the VM stack
to the native stack, and popping off the register arguments again
before doing the native call, try to avoid touching the stack completely
if the VM stack frame is <= 64 bytes. Also, if the stack frame does exceed
64 bytes, there is no need to copy the first 64 bytes, since we are passing
those in registers anyway.
