Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Revert "powerpc/xmon: Relax frame size for clang""

This reverts commit 7f3c5d099b6f8452dc4dcfe4179ea48e6a13d0eb.

Turns out that this is reproducible still under specific compiler
versions (mea culpa: I did not test every supported version of clang),
and even a few randconfigs bots found.

We'll have to revisit this again in the future, for now back this out.
