I see the problem you're facing with the overwrite and it looks there
might be a cleaner solution: If you can lock the CPU cache so that
writes don't get passed through to RAM, you're free to use any area
(with a few contraints) for stack without having to worry about
clobbering memory contents there.
That method is called Cache-as-RAM and I'm currently trying to implement
it in Qemu. I haven't looked into Bochs yet, but it should be doable
there as well.
coreboot (a free x86 firmware/BIOS replacement) is using Cache-as-RAM
and I believe quite a few commercial BIOSes use that technique as well.
Regards,
Carl-Daniel
