With *ENTER_EXT_ARG_REG instead of passing a user pointer with arguments

argument.
As we address a kernel array using a user given index, it'd be a subject
to speculation type of exploits.

We need something better than that, barrier_nospec() is a big slow
hammer...
Right, more of a discussion opener. I wonder if Jann can help here
(see the other reply). I don't like back and forth like that, but if
nothing works there is an option of returning back to reg-wait array
indexes. Trivial to change, but then we're committing to not expanding
the structure or complicating things if we do.
