SubjectRe: arm64: Register modification during syscall entry/exit stop

Yes, it can. The idea behind SYSEMU is to be able to save half the
ptrace traps that would require, in theory making the ptracer
a decent amount faster. That said, the x7 issue is orthogonal to
SYSEMU, you'd have the same issues if you used PTRACE_SYSCALL.
