Sadly this awesome technote has not been updated in 3 years.  We should
all file bugs. :)

Forgot where I got this (ie credit not mine), but:

given:
-(id)method:(id)arg2 bar:(id)arg3 baz:(id)arg4

                ppc/ppc64:  x86_64:     i386:
arg0 (self)     $r3         $rdi        *(id*)($ebp + 8)
arg1 (_cmd)     $r4         $rsi        *(SEL*)($ebp + 12)
arg2            $r5         $rdx        *(id*)($ebp + 16)
arg3            $r6         $rcx        *(id*)($ebp + 20)
arg4            $r7         $r8         ?
arg5            $r8         $r9         ?
