Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 4f0272415a [PATCH] uml: fix syscall stubs

Jeff Dike noted that the assembly code for syscall stubs is misassembled with
GCC 3.2.3: the values copied in registers weren't preserved between one asm()
and the following one.

So I fixed the thing by rewriting the __asm__ constraints more like unistd.h
ones.

Note: in syscall6 case I had to add one more instruction (i.e.  moving arg6 in
eax and shuffling things around) - it's needed for the function to be valid in
general (we can't load the value from the stack, relative to ebp, because we
change it), but could be avoided since we actually use a constant as param 6.

The only fix would be to turn stub_syscall6 to a macro and use a "i"
constraint for arg6 (i.e., specify it's a constant value).
