Could we call out the actual thing that we use this slot for, and the
symbol name so folks can find the corresponding code that does this?
While I know the spot in entry_64 you're talking about, it might not be
patently obvious to everyone, and it's also a bit more challenging to
grep for than normal C code.
Maybe:
/*
* Since Linux does not use ring 2, the 'sp2' slot is unused.
* entry_SYSCALL_64 uses this as scratch space to stash the user
* %RSP value.
*/
