/* Register assignment:
// %o0:	incoming `helper' function to call after cswap
//	also used as outgoing sp of old thread (qt_t *)
// %o1, %o2:
//	parameters to `helper' function called after cswap
// %o3:	sp of new thread
// %o5: tmp used to save old thread sp, while using %o0
//	to call `helper' f() after cswap.
//
//
// Aborting a thread is easy if there are no cached register window
// frames: just switch to the new stack and away we go.  If there are
// cached register window frames they must all be written back to the
// old stack before we move to the new stack.  If we fail to do the
// writeback then the old stack memory can be written with register
// window contents e.g., after the stack memory has been freed and
// reused.  
//
// If you don't believe this, try setting the frame pointer to zero
// once we're on the new stack.  This will not affect correctnes
// otherwise because the frame pointer will eventually get reloaded w/
// the new thread's frame pointer.  But it will be zero briefly before
// the reload.  You will eventually (100,000 cswaps later on a small
// SPARC machine that I tried) get an illegal instruction trap  from
// the kernel trying to flush a cached window to location 0x0.
//
// Solution: flush windows before switching stacks, which invalidates
// all the other register windows.  We could do the trap
// conditionally: if we're in the lowest frame of a thread, the fp is
// zero already so we know there's nothing cached.  But we expect most
// aborts will be done from a first function that does a `save', so we
// will rarely save anything and always pay the cost of testing to see
// if we should flush.
//
// All floating-point registers are caller-save, so this routine
// doesn't need to do anything to save and restore them.
//
// `qt_block' and `qt_blocki' return the same value as the value
// returned by the helper function.  We get this ``for free''
// since we don't touch the return value register between the
// return from the helper function and return from qt_block{,i}.
