* Reshuffle regs so that all of any of the entry instructions
* will preserve enough state.
*
* A really nice entry sequence would be:
* pushl %edx
* pushl %ecx
* movl %esp, %ecx
*
* Unfortunately, naughty Android versions between July and December
* 2015 actually hardcode the traditional Linux SYSENTER entry
* sequence. That is severely broken for a number of reasons (ask
* anyone with an AMD CPU, for example). Nonetheless, we try to keep
* it working approximately as well as it ever worked.
*
* This link may eludicate some of the history:
* https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/q/Iac3295376d61ef83e713ac9b528f3b50aa780cd7
* personally, I find it hard to understand what's going on there.
*
* Note to future user developers: DO NOT USE SYSENTER IN YOUR CODE.
* Execute an indirect call to the address in the AT_SYSINFO auxv
* entry. That is the ONLY correct way to make a fast 32-bit system
* call on Linux. (Open-coding int $0x80 is also fine, but it's
* slow.)
