/* Syscalls for i386 :
* - mostly similar to x86_64
* - registers are 32-bit
* - syscall number is passed in eax
* - arguments are in ebx, ecx, edx, esi, edi, ebp respectively
* - all registers are preserved (except eax of course)
* - the system call is performed by calling int $0x80
* - syscall return comes in eax
* - the arguments are cast to long and assigned into the target registers
* which are then simply passed as registers to the asm code, so that we
* don't have to experience issues with register constraints.
* - the syscall number is always specified last in order to allow to force
* some registers before (gcc refuses a %-register at the last position).
*
* Also, i386 supports the old_select syscall if newselect is not available

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `compiler.h`, `crt.h`.
- Detected declarations: `function __attribute__`, `function __attribute__`.
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / tools.
- Implementation status: source implementation candidate.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
