can't see how that would help... it would still be a software stack, and the 
code would still be very similar to what it is now. (and ofcourse you can 
inline stack access right now, several functions of the runtime lib do it).

better design your code in a way that you can use fastcall conventions and 
only pass one or two parameters.
