 * Now, the shared system call code.
 * The MIPS syscall ABI is as follows:
 *
 *    On entry, call number in v0. The rest is like a normal function
 *    call: four args in a0-a3, the other args on the stack.
 *
 *    On successful return, zero in a3 register; return value in v0
 *    (v0 and v1 for a 64-bit return value).
 *
 *    On error return, nonzero in a3 register; errno value in v0.
 *
 * The use of a3 as a return register to hold the success flag is
 * gross, but I didn't make it up.
 *
 * Note that by longstanding Unix convention and POSIX decree, errno
 * is not to be set unless the call actually fails.
