Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH 0/4 v2] sycalls: Remove args i and n from syscall_get_arguments()

The whole series looks fine to me.

I still suspect that we should just remove the syscall_set_arguments()
thing entirely, but even without that, the cleanup of the calling
convention is at least an improvement.
