If you don't use naked asm, you won't have to know this. And you 
get other benefits like being able to use the same x86 code 
across OSes (and sometimes across x86 and x86_64).

The problem with calling conventions is that they can be sublty 
different eg. between OS X and Linux 64-bit. It's a big trap that 
is worth avoiding.
