Hi Lorenzo,
	I used the complex prototype to explicitly reminder callers
that you need to prepare all these information. If simpler interface
is preferred, we could pack all ops, sysdata, segment, node, root
into info, that there's will be only one parameter "info" left.
The drawback is that it will add several lines of code to each arch
using this interface. So prefer simpler interface or less lines of code?:)
Thanks!
Gerry
