The upper 32 bits of the syscallno field in thread_struct are
handled inconsistently, being sometimes zero extended and sometimes
sign-extended.  In fact, only the lower 32 bits seem to have any
real significance for the behaviour of the code: it's been OK to
handle the upper bits inconsistently because they don't matter.

Currently, the only place I can find where those bits are
significant is in calling trace_sys_enter(), which may be
unintentional: for example, if a compat tracer attempts to cancel a
syscall by passing -1 to (COMPAT_)PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL at the
syscall-enter-stop, it will be traced as syscall 4294967295
rather than -1 as might be expected (and as occurs for a native
tracer doing the same thing).  Elsewhere, reads of syscallno cast
it to an int or truncate it.

There's also a conspicuous amount of code and casting to bodge
around the fact that although semantically an int, syscallno is
stored as a u64.

Let's not pretend any more.

In order to preserve the stp x instruction that stores the syscall
number in entry.S, this patch special-cases the layout of struct
pt_regs for big endian so that the newly 32-bit syscallno field
maps onto the low bits of the stored value.  This is not beautiful,
but benchmarking of the getpid syscall on Juno suggests indicates a
minor slowdown if the stp is split into an stp x and stp w.
