I think it's because this mechanism does not behave like other syscalls
at all and the classic calling convention does not really apply...

Indeed, that is more clear. Should I send a v2 ?

Yes, as well as for a bunch of other architectures. I suspect this has
only been tested on x86. AFAIK, this feature is mainly for wine usage
which then makes sense for x86 and games.
