Hence, a ``struct value'' function descriptor (or descriptor pointer / type) are going to eventually be needed anyway.  Hence, I think an updated push-dummy-call with the new parameter would be better.

What happens if the function pointer value, rather than code start 
address is passed into push dummy call?  The entire value should be 
passed in, but this is a simple step in that direction.
