[cmucl-imp] Frame size for local calls

The comment for the ALLOCATE-FRAME vop reads:

  This is emitted directly before either a known-call-local, call-local,
  or a multiple-call-local.  All it does is allocate stack space for the
  callee (who has the same size stack as us).

Does that mean that all local calls in a component use the same frame
size?  Isn't that wasteful?
