+ * For ARM syscalls, we encode the syscall number into the instruction.
+ * With EABI, the syscall number has to be loaded into r7. As result
+ * ARM syscall sequence snippet will have move and svc in .arm encoding
+ *
+ * For Thumb syscalls, we pass the syscall number via r7.  We therefore
+ * need two 16-bit instructions in .thumb encoding
+ *
+ * Please note sigreturn_codes code are not executed in place. Instead
+ * they just copied by kernel into appropriate places. Code inside of
+ * arch/arm/kernel/signal.c is very sensitive to layout of these code
+ * snippets.
