Subject: [PATCH] [libc][thumb] support syscalls from thumb mode

r7 is reserved in thumb2 (typically for the frame pointer, as opposed to r11 in
ARM mode), so assigning to a variable with explicit register storage in r7 will
produce an error.

But r7 is where the Linux kernel expects the syscall number to be placed. We
can use a temporary to get the register allocator to pick a temporary, which we
save+restore the previous value of r7 in.
