 System calls are rewritten into a sequence that loads the address of the first
 runtime call entrypoint and jumps to it. The runtime call entrypoint table is
-stored at the start of the sandbox, so it can be referenced by ``x27``. The
-rewrite also saves and restores the link register, since it is used for
-branching into the runtime.

 Thread-local storage
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-TLS accesses are rewritten into accesses offset from ``x25``, which is a
-reserved register that points to a virtual register file, with a location for
-storing the sandbox's thread pointer. ``TP`` is the offset into that virtual
-register file where the thread pointer is stored.
