tools/nolibc: i386: Implement syscall with 6 arguments
On i386, the 6th argument of syscall goes in %ebp. However, both Clang
and GCC cannot use %ebp in the clobber list and in the "r" constraint
without using -fomit-frame-pointer. To make it always available for
any kind of compilation, the below workaround is implemented.
1) Push the 6-th argument.
2) Push %ebp.
3) Load the 6-th argument from 4(%esp) to %ebp.
4) Do the syscall (int $0x80).
5) Pop %ebp (restore the old value of %ebp).
6) Add %esp by 4 (undo the stack pointer).
