Dammit. I know the best time to comment is *before* I add my own sign-
off to it and before Linus has merged it but... I think this is broken.
If you're calling a C function then you have to mark *all* the call-
clobbered registers as, well, clobbered.
If you really really really want to *call* something out of line, then
it would need to be implemented in asm.
