thanks for your patchset. Could you explain a bit more what the rationale
is. Due to asmlinkage, it doesn't leak "random user-provided register
content down the call chain" (as was the case for x86-64). But it may be
cleaner, and you mention in patch 5/5 that the new way is "a bit more
efficient" -- do you have numbers?

Thanks,
