This is wrong. You just lost the "asmlinkage" thing, which means that it
breaks when asmlinkage matters.

And yes, asmlinkage _can_ matter, even on x86. It disasbles regparm, for
one thing, so it makes a huge difference if the kernel is compiled with
-mregparm=3 (which used to work, and which I'd love to do, but gcc has
often been a tad fragile).
