<pre>
    From the SystemV X86 ABI specification:

> The direction flag DF in the %rFLAGS register must be clear (set to “forward” direction) on function entry and return.

This needs to be done when we touch `rflags` at all. Just clearing `rflags` upon function exit seems like a reasonable enough option as we (for now) do not care about the flag values after the snippet has finished executing.
