[PATCH 4/6] syslets: add indirect args

From: Zach Brown
Date: Thu Dec 06 2007 - 18:21:44 EST


This adds the syslet indirect args to the indirect_params union.

This is broken, but it lets us simply demonstrate the rest of the syslet
universe around the indirect argument passing convention.

A caller could well want to perform a syscall that uses indirect arguments as a
syscall. Maybe we turn indirect_params into a struct that contains a union for
arguments which can never be used concurrently. This needs wider discussion.
