Another fine can of worms. On some architectures function arguments are getting extended to full register size by the caller, on others it just doesn't matter. This can have very subtle effects. MIPS belongs into the first class which forces me to doublecheck each compat syscall entrypoint for sign/unsigned extension issues. Ick.
