Stackmap support is currently only implemented for 64-bit
platforms. However, a 32-bit implementation should be able to use
the same format with an insignificant amount of wasted space.

To enforce these semantics, stackmap and patchpoint intrinsics are

avoided by marking the call site as "readonly". In the future we may
also allow meta-data to be added to the intrinsic call to express
