[RFA] Skip the "red zone" on AMD64

Hi all,
this simple patch skips the "red zone" before pushing anything to the 
stack when calling functions from the GDB prompt. If the red zone isn't 
skipped than local variables, etc. could be overwritten by called 
function parameters or return address.

This is pretty obvious patch that doesn't harm anything, but anyway - OK 
to apply?
