So I'm vexed by this comment; it's either not enough or too much.

I mean, as given you assume we all know about the magic parameters to
TDH_SYS_INFO but then somehow need an explanation for how %r9 is changed
from the array size to the number of used entries.

Either describe the whole thing or none of it.

Me, I would prefer all of it, because I've no idea where to begin
looking for any of this, SDM doesn't seem to be the place. That doesn't
even list TDCALL/SEAMCALL in Volume 2 :-( Let alone describe the magic
values.
