Seems reasonable to me. It’s less code overall than any other suggestion, too.

If it’s done this way, it can just be “common” in the 64-bit table. And we kick the can a bit farther down the road :)

I’m working on patches to clean up x86’s syscall mess. It’s slow because I keep finding new messes.  So far I have rt_sigreturn working like every other syscall — whee.

Also, Eric, for your edification, I have a draft patch set to radically simplify x86’s signal delivery and return.  Once that’s done, I can trivially speed up delivery by a ton by using sysret.
