+ * The SYSENTER syscall mechanism can be used for syscalls with
+ * four or fewer arguments. To pass these four arguments, we
+ * use four registers: EDX, ECX, EBX, ESI. The syscall number
+ * is passed in EAX. We use EDI to remember the return address
+ * and EBP to remember the stack. The INT-based syscall mechanism
+ * can actually handle six arguments plus the syscall number
+ * entirely in registers.
