// void *blocking (helper, arg0, arg1, new)
//
// On procedure entry, the helper is at 4(sp), args at 8(sp) and
// 12(sp) and the new thread's sp at 16(sp). It *appears* that the
// calling convention for the 8X86 requires the caller to save all
// floating-point registers, this makes our life easy. */
/* Halt the currently-running thread. Save it's callee-save regs on
// to the stack, 32 bytes. Switch to the new stack (next == 16+32(sp))
// and call the user function (f == 4+32(sp) with arguments: old sp
// arg1 (8+32(sp)) and arg2 (12+32(sp)). When the user function is
// done, restore the new thread's state and return.
//
// `qt_abort' is (currently) an alias for `qt_block' because most of
// the work is shared. We could save the insns up to `qt_common' by
// replicating, but w/o replicating we need an inital subtract (to
// offset the stack as if it had been a qt_block) and then a jump
// to qt_common. For the cost of a jump, we might as well just do
// all the work.
//
// The helper function (4(sp)) can return a void* that is returned
// by the call to `qt_blockk{,i}'. Since we don't touch %eax in
// between, we get that ``for free''. */
