FWIW, you can add

There are two places listed below where I'd prefer to see more readable
equivalents, but feel free to leave it to respective arch maintainers.

A shorter and slightly more readable equivalent of the last memcpy is

	memcpy(&regs->uregs[1], args, 5 * sizeof(args[0]));

A shorter and slightly more readable equivalent of the loop is

	while (--n > 0)
		regs->gprs[2 + n] = args[n];
