Explain that here we combine two things: first, we reload registers since some of them are clobbered by the C function we just called; and we also convert 32-bit syscall params to 64-bit C ABI, because we are going to jump back to syscall dispatch code. Move reloading of 6th argument into the macro instead of having it after each of two macro invocations. No actual code changes here.
