It's arch-specific, but so far we managed to have a consistent
interpretation.  It is the number of bytes which need to be copied so
that the called function will get all its values from that copy and not
the original stack frame.  What this means for ppc is up to you to
decide.  For the implementation of audit modules it would be could to
minimize the difference.  So, if there is a number of bytes which always
need to be copied if args are passed on the stack, it might be good to
add the number implicitly to the framesize value instead of requiring
the audit module to know about this detail.
