Change 29912 by peter at peter_daintree on 2003/04/27 18:48:04

	as a bonus, preserve %rsi and %rdi across 'syscall'.  This means we
	dont have to use PCB_FULLCTX on return from execve() which passes
	arguments in %rdi and %rsi.  It also makes life easier for things
	like the pipe(2) wrapper in libc.
