If regs is NULL that's a major bug.
It's no different than what we have today. If you set FL_SAVE_REGS, then the regs parameter will have regs. If you don't, it will be NULL. We don't check regs for NULL today, so we shouldn't need to check regs for NULL with this.
One of my bootup tests checks if this works. I work hard to make sure that regs is set for everything that wants it, otherwise bad things happen.
In other words, the functionality in this regard hasn't changed with this patch.
