Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 3/8] tools/nolibc: i386: Implement syscall with 6 arguments

On i386, the 6th argument of syscall goes in %ebp. However, both Clang
and GCC cannot use %ebp in the clobber list and in the "r" constraint
without using -fomit-frame-pointer. To make it always available for
any kind of compilation, the below workaround is implemented.

For clang (the Assembly statement can't clobber %ebp):
  1) Push the 6-th argument.
  2) Push %ebp.
  3) Load the 6-th argument from 4(%esp) to %ebp.
  4) Do the syscall (int $0x80).
  5) Pop %ebp (restore the old value of %ebp).
  6) Add %esp by 4 (undo the stack pointer).

For GCC, fortunately it has a #pragma that can force a specific function
to be compiled with -fomit-frame-pointer, so it can use "r"(var) where
var is a variable bound to %ebp.
