Question:
	struct pcb has an array called pcb_context, which is
used to store non-volatile registers. The ABI tells me that
general registers 13 to 31 are to be saved. FreeBSD also saves
R12, according to the operands of the stmw intruction and the
description of that instruction.

Is this observation correct (i.e. that we also save R12 in the
PCB) and is this intentional?
