That's not what I meant.  I meant that you would set the kernel up to
redirect *all* syscalls from the thread with the sole exception of one
syscall instruction in the thunk.  This would catch Windows syscalls
and Linux syscalls.  The thunk would determine whether the original
syscall was Linux or Windows and handle it accordingly.

This may interact poorly with the DRM scheme.  The redzone might need
to be respected, or stack switching might be needed.
