Please "git pull" from Ingo's tree. There was a revert,
arg6 is no longer held in EBP in SYSCALL code:

cstar_do_call:
/* 32-bit syscall -> 64-bit C ABI argument conversion */
movl %edi, %r8d /* arg5 */
/* r9 already loaded */ /* arg6 */
xchg %ecx, %esi /* rsi:arg2, rcx:arg4 */
movl %ebx, %edi /* arg1 */
movl %edx, %edx /* arg3 (zero extension) */
