This is unnecessarily difficult to read. Could you rework it to use named macro parameters?

Ditto.

It occurs to me that both the name of this macro and comment are wrong. It's not fixing the *top* of the stack, since it fixes both rcx and r11. Oh, well, maybe we'll just delete it eventually.
The patch looks correct. Can you submit a v2 once I finish reading the rest of these? (Also, can you put v2 in the subject? My email is going nuts here.)
