Mark Rutland had previously asked for this to be lowercase.
I really don't care one way or the other so I'll defer to
someone else to have the final word.

Ah yeah, I missed the details in that thread. Thanks for
that pointer.

Currently everything except the overflow stack looks to be
the same size but there's also another stack I missed. It might
be cleaner just to use on_accessible_stack and then another
function to get the top of stack. This also might just be
reimplementing what x86 already has? (Mark, Ard?)

Thanks,
Laura
