Can't we make use of the callee clobbered registers? I mean, we know
that call is being made when the int3 is triggered. Then we can save
the return address in one register, and the jump location in another,
and then just call a trampoline that does:

r8 = return address
r9 = function to call

	push r8
	jmp *r9

Then have the regs->ip point to that trampoline.
