//     Kernel-side syscall handler API
//
// This hal_do_syscall() function extract from the calling thread uzone array
// the syscall index, and the four syscall arguments. 
// Then it calls the generic do_syscall() function,
// that calls itself the relevant kernel function, depending on the syscall index.
//
// When the generic do_syscall function returns, it saves the return value
// in the UZ_VO slot of the returning thread uzone, and update the UZ_EPC slot.
// 
// WARNING: The returning thread can be different from the entering thread 
// in the case of a sys_fork() system call.
