/* Linux takes system call arguments in registers:

	syscall number	%eax	     call-clobbered
	arg 1		%ebx	     call-saved
	arg 2		%ecx	     call-clobbered
	arg 3		%edx	     call-clobbered
	arg 4		%esi	     call-saved
	arg 5		%edi	     call-saved

   The stack layout upon entering the function is:

	20(%esp)	Arg# 5
	16(%esp)	Arg# 4
	12(%esp)	Arg# 3
	 8(%esp)	Arg# 2
	 4(%esp)	Arg# 1
	  (%esp)	Return address

   (Of course a function with say 3 arguments does not have entries for
   arguments 4 and 5.)

   The following code tries hard to be optimal.  A general assuption
   (which is true according to the data books I have) is that

	2 * xchg	is more expensive than	pushl + movl + popl

   Beside this a neat trick is used.  The calling conventions for Linux
   tell that among the registers used for parameters %ecx and %edx need
   not be saved.  Beside this we may clobber this registers even when
   they are not used for parameter passing.

   As a result one can see below that we save the content of the %ebx
   register in the %edx register when we have less than 3 arguments
   (2 * movl is less expensive than pushl + popl).

   Second unlike for the other registers we don't save the content of
   %ecx and %edx when we have than 1 and 2 registers resp.

   The code below might look a bit long but we have to take care for
   the pipelined processors (i586 and up).  Here the `pushl' and `popl'
   instructions are marked as NP (not pairable) but the exception is
   two consecutive of these instruction.  This gives no penalty on
   i386 and i486 processors though.  */
