Last I heard, there wasn't complete agreement between Paulus and Arnd
about how those Hcalls should look like and Arnd patch, I think,
conflicts with something else (though it's not off the top of my mind, I
haven't paid too much attention there).

I asked Paulus and we agreed that Geoff should keep his current macros
for now, and we'll look into a general consolidation once it's in and
the Toshiba stuff is in too (it should be posted next week).

Ben.
