After the call __audit_syscall_entry aren't they already polluted?
Isn't that the reason we need to reload EAX? You can verify this leaves
things in a similar state (although slightly differently polluted) than
before it got screwed up. Here is diff between before the breakage and
what I propose we do now.

(I admit I don't understand how the pushl_cfi %ebx wasn't messing up
PT_EBX)

/me anxiously awaits x86 guy to tell me how dumb I am....
