epiphany stack frame

I came across this months ago but forgot some of the finer details.

I thought that 8-byte empty area looked odd in generated code but I think it's there to simplify stacking saved registers due to the lack of pre-decrement addressing modes (otherwise it doesn't make much sense - leaf function use wouldn't matter if it had such addressing modes).

It's in the gcc source.

/* EPIPHANY stack frames look like:
