61a9213440 Implement an x86-64 ABI detail of passing structs by hidden first
argument. The x86-64 ABI requires the incoming value of %rdi to
be copied to %rax on exit from a function that is returning a
large C struct.

Also, add a README-X86-64 entry detailing the missed optimization
opportunity and proposing an alternative approach.
