Yes, $regparam is more appropriate.

Right, I learnt regparm(3) is mandatory in x86_32, according to rules,
the first three args will go to regparm(ax, dx, cx). But we should not
refer arg1~3 to ax, dx, cx because of 64bit parameters (other reasons?).

Consider this keyword is used for generating bpf prologue which fetches
formal parameters when no debuginfo is provided, for this purpose, we can:
        1) We just help fetch the $regs or $regparms(If the keyword is
$regparms, ax/dx/cx is fetched, nothing related to args) to bpf arglists
and leave the rest things to bpf prog writer.

        2) Keep that on platforms like x86_64 and skip this feature on
platforms like x86_32.

or any other suggestions?

Thanks
