Ok I was getting my feet wet and reading up on x64 and wonderful , the first four perms are passed in regs rcx, rdx, r8, r9. Nice.
Then reading a bit further see that Linux uses six regs - rdi, rsi, rdx, rcx, r8 and r9, for User-level applications. No this is not on.
How could you let this happen M$.

Henry Miller once said, "Whatever there be of progress in life comes not through adaptation but through daring."

OK Henry Miller, challenge accepted.

Well sub, then you will have to use the wakeupcall.

To all those how would like to put me in a straight jacket and throw me in a padded cell, please calm down to a panic.
This is just an ex-parra-"mental" exercise and yes, I shoud have stuck it in the Romper Room, I know.

Any regs mm0 to mm7 with values that are needed after an API call, will need to be saved first.
This is also the case before use of the coprocesser and an emms instuction is also needed before hand.

BTW 3 things happened today
1. A script kiddie said assembly sucks and that it had no place in modern day programming.
2. He got lost at sea.
3. I lost my skippers Licence. Dam I'll miss shark marlin fishing.
