26
	 * Unfortunately, naughty Android versions between July and December

27
	 * 2015 actually hardcode the traditional Linux SYSENTER entry

28
	 * sequence.  That is severely broken for a number of reasons (ask

29
	 * anyone with an AMD CPU, for example).  Nonetheless, we try to keep

30
	 * it working approximately as well as it ever worked.

34
	 * personally, I find it hard to understand what's going on there.

35

36
	 * Note to future user developers: DO NOT USE SYSENTER IN YOUR CODE.

37
	 * Execute an indirect call to the address in the AT_SYSINFO auxv

38
	 * entry.  That is the ONLY correct way to make a fast 32-bit system

39
	 * call on Linux.  (Open-coding int $0x80 is also fine, but it's

40
	 * slow.)
