From the test results, AArch64 require more stack space than X86_64. And  on the same platform, tier3 `-XX:TieredStopAtLevel=3` consumes more stack space than tier4`-XX:TieredStopAtLevel=4`.

The stack layout of AArch64 is, as close as we can make it, identical to that of x86-64. So, this difference in memory use is not expected and should be investigated.

@theRealAph Do you have any good ways to observe the use of X86 and AArch64 stack space?
