Which then results in...

Since the upper regs don't exist for ia32 code, preserving them
doesn't hurt and it simplifies the code.

If there was any attack surface on this, that attack surface already
exists for INT80 and needs to be otherwise dealt with.

Notably:

- 32bit SYSENTER: didn't clear si, dx, cx.
- 32bit SYSCALL, INT80: *do* clear si since the C functions don't
take a second argument.
- 64bit: don't clear si since the C functions take a second argument.

SYSENTER should be clearing all those 3 registers, nothing uses them
and selftests pass. Unconditionally clear rsi since it simplifies
code.
