/** Save register context.
 *
 * Save the current register context (including stack pointer) to a context
 * structure. A subsequent call to context_restore() will return to the same
 * address as the corresponding call to context_save().
 *
 * Note that context_save_arch() must reuse the stack frame of the function
 * which called context_save(). We guarantee this by:
 *
 *   a) implementing context_save_arch() in assembly so that it does not create
 *      its own stack frame, and by
 *   b) defining context_save() as a macro because the inline keyword is just a
 *      hint for the compiler, not a real constraint; the application of a macro
 *      will definitely not create a stack frame either.
 *
 * To imagine what could happen if there were some extra stack frames created
 * either by context_save() or context_save_arch(), we need to realize that the
 * sp saved in the contex_t structure points to the current stack frame as it
 * existed when context_save_arch() was executing. After the return from
 * context_save_arch() and context_save(), any extra stack frames created by
 * these functions will be destroyed and their contents sooner or later
 * overwritten by functions called next. Any attempt to restore to a context
 * saved like that would therefore lead to a disaster.
 *
 * @param ctx Context structure.
 *
 * @return context_save() returns 1, context_restore() returns 0.
