rdos/kernel/syscall.asm

; This is the syscall gateway:
;  - backs up the data from user space (kernel funcs trash many regs)
;  - sets up the kernel stack
;  - calls kernel funcs
;  - exports a specified set of registers back to userspace
;
; The syscall table acts as a "export"-list for kernel near funcs.
; Kernel code can expect CS = DS
