On x86 we build the frame directly in C1_MacroAssembler by doing roughly `__ push(rbp); __ decrement(rsp, frame_size_in_bytes);` so it's natural that `frame_size_in_bytes` shouldn't include the space for the frame pointer and the return address (which was already pushed by the `call` instruction). If we made this change on x86 we'd need to subtract `2*wordSize` from each increment/decrement of rsp which seems like a net loss.

OK, makes snse.
