this has been wrong since the beginning of the microblaze port: the
syscall ABI for microblaze does not align 64-bit arguments on even
register boundaries. commit 788d5e24ca
exposed the problem by introducing references to a nonexistent
__syscall7. the ABI is not documented well anywhere, but I was able to
confirm against both strace source and glibc source that microblaze is
not using the alignment.
per the syscall(2) man page, posix_fadvise, ftruncate, pread, pwrite,
readahead, sync_file_range, and truncate were all affected and either
did not work at all, or only worked by chance, e.g. when the affected
argument slots were all zero.
