Should be able to be used on all x86 platforms we support (Win32, Solaris/x86, and soon Linux) to implement JavaThread's "currentFrameGuess()" functionality. Input is an X86ThreadContext; output is SP, FP, and PC for an X86Frame. Instantiation of the X86Frame is left to the caller, since we may need to subclass X86Frame to support signal handler frames on Unix platforms.

Algorithm is to walk up the stack within a given range (say, 512K at most) looking for a plausible PC and SP for a Java frame, also considering those coming in from the context. If we find a PC that belongs to the VM (i.e., in generated code like the interpreter or CodeCache) then we try to find an associated EBP. We repeat this until we either find a complete frame or run out of stack to look at.
