Review comment:
       > I personally prefer this, it is a simple context save to 1 location 
(a0) and does not need to involve a system call.
   
   But, the most portion of code is to simulate ECALL which is same as 
riscv_syscall_dispatch. Once the simulation is done, riscv_handle_syscall is 
just a simple switch case statement.

   Yes, it could save some instruction, but is very small. On the other hand, 
it duplicated a lot of code and make the code hard to maintain.
   
   > If duplicated code is to be removed at all expense then I guess it can be 
done. In that case it would be the same as simulating ecall but with a 
trampoline.
