Ah OK, I begin to understand what you mean. The emulator just routes the
execution to a well-known address, saving the registers and parts of context,
right? And we basically emulate the whole world, kinda like regular qemu, and
it'll be up to OS run in the emulator to establish the code at that address
where we jump, is it what you mean?

Not like that we were able to do it before. :-) I kinda had an impression from
comment #2 that the point of this task was to enable userspace syscall
emulation. OK, if we still have some work to do, it'd be great to adjust the
budget: even the works I already completed were somewhat bigger to fit into
1000 I have as of now. :-)

Sure, that'd be great! Thank you!
