[Mono-dev] Win64 Stack Arguments Patch

[Jonathan Chambers]

Hello,
     After getting some help on IRC I rewrote these changes. With this new
patch, most of the regressions in mono/mono/mini run successfully (exception
handling is not working).

    Code contributed under MIT/X11 license.

Thanks,
Jonathan
