bn/asm/x86[_64]-mont*.pl: complement alloca with page-walking.
Some OSes, *cough*-dows, insist on stack being "wired" to physical memory in strictly sequential manner, i.e. if stack allocation spans two pages, then reference to farmost one can be punishable by SEGV. But page walking can do good even on other OSes, because it guarantees that villain thread hits the guard page before it can make damage to innocent one...
