Cool.  Why "AP" BTW?

The reason why I used `_JIT_SPARC_FP' instead of `JIT_FP' is that when
`JIT_FP' is defined lightning assumes on-stack parameter passing, which
I didn't want.

Thus, instead of what you propose, I'd have kept `JIT_FP' to denote the
FP register and then have back-ends define
`JIT_STACK_BASED_PARAMETER_PASSING' when needed.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
