// The compiler generates calls to __enable_execute_stack() when creating 
// trampoline functions on the stack for use with nested functions.
// It is expected to mark the page(s) containing the address 
// and the next 48 bytes as executable.  Since the stack is normally rw-
// that means changing the protection on those page(s) to rwx.
