/* StackScan -- scan the current thread's stack
 *
 * StackScan scans the stack of the current thread, Between stackBot and the
 * current top of stack. It also fixes any roots which may be in callee-save
 * registers.
 *
 * See the specific implementation for the exact registers which are scanned.
 *
 * If a stack pointer has been stashed at arena entry (through the MPS
 * interface in mpsi*.c) then only the registers and the stack between
 * stackAtArenaEnter and stackBot is scanned, to avoid scanning false
 * ambiguous references on the MPS's own stack.  This is particularly
 * important for transforms (trans.c).
 *
 * The word pointed to by stackBot is fixed if the stack is by convention
 * empty, and not fixed if it is full.  Where empty means sp points to first
 * free word beyond the top of stack.  Full means sp points to the top of
 * stack itself.
