I am not sure that we can do EnterStubFrame in compiled code. Typically we call
to a stub which does EnterStubFrame. This means that there must be a PC of
compiled code on the stack before doing EnterStubFrame.

Also: megamorphic calls are emitted only in optimized code, i.e., you will never
hit this since code is not cleared if optimized code exists.

Can the megamorphic call be a call to unoptimized code? Because I am getting a
null code pointer here.

Either way, I've updated to use GenerateCallRuntime. It seems no new frame is
needed here, following the example of other runtime calls from generated code.

Moved call to a stub.
