; this function performs a syscall and stores its
; results in the variables provided. this makes it
; possible to bypass the hideous errno mechanism
; altogether and access the error value of a
; syscall directly. invoke as:

; 	void k_platform_syscall_raw(s32* result, u32* errno,
;		syscall, u8 valency, s32[] args)
