How about extending the existing enter() function:
// Enter a new stack frame for the current method.
// nested: Indicates a frame has already been entered (and not left) for
the current method.
void MacroAssembler::enter(bool nested=false) {
if (nested) strip()
protect()
stp()
mov()
}
This would add an additional bool check for every call of enter() - that's at
code generation time, so probably not an issue.
