This change is not necessary. These will work perfectly fine as ints;
please leave them as-is.

This should be:
if (i % 2 == 0) {
Otherwise we'll lose x0 in the native case (and x29 will be given a line
of its own).

Other functions call __show_regs() directly and the trailing newline
there is expected. Please leave it in __show_regs().
Otherwise, this looks fine to me.
