This change is good.

For this one, I think it would be nice to do the "right" thing and make
the function prototypes different on !64S. They could then declare a
local const bool scv = 0.
We could have syscall_exit_prepare and syscall_exit_prepare_maybe_scv
or something like that, 64s can use the latter one and the former can be
a wrapper that passes constant 0 for scv. Then we don't have different
prototypes for the same function, but you just have to make the 32-bit
version static inline and the 64-bit version exported to asm.
Thanks,
Nick
