Hello Michael,
In the case of no sibling call within the livepatch then the store is
only "restoring" the r2 value that was already there as it is stored
and retrieved from the livepatch stack. The only time that the r2 value
is corrupted is in the case of a sibling call and thus this additional
store is just restoring the caller's context as a safety precaution.
Also should this explanation be put into the patch itself or will these
messages suffice as a reference?
Cheers,
Ryan
