Now you mention it, it would be nice if we could change the SPU code
such that it doesn't use generic_push_dummy_code(). This function
abuses frame_align(), and it would be nice if we could eliminate it.

Something like i386_dicos_push_dummy_code() is needed. I can roll you
a diff if you want, but I won't be able to test it.

Thanks,
