The syscall handler expects the syscall params to still be in their
respective regs.

Oh quite possibly crazy Cyril comment that will have to be...
normalised. I should actually delete this and see if that's still the
case.

Ah yes that was a cleanup I noticed along the way and clearly forgot to
finish.
At the moment there's a bunch of tm_enable()s either before calling
functions like tm_recheckpoint() or tm_reclaim_current() or inside
helpers (tm_reclaim_current() for example again). I feel like callers
shouldn't have to worry, it should be up to the function actually doing
the TM work to enable it.

The next 3 or so patches will need squashing into this one before
merging.

I'm not sure I follow, we need to recheckpoint because we're going back
to userspace? Or would you rather calling the tm.S code directly from
the exception return path?
Yes, I hope we'll be able to have a fairly big cleanup commit of tm_
code in process.c at the end of this series.
