The comment above entry_SYSCALL_64() says
64-bit SYSCALL saves rip to rcx, clears rflags.RF, then saves rflags to r11
then entry_SYSCALL_64 does
pushq %r11 /* pt_regs->flags */
which should be restored on return to userspace. So I think that
only X86_EFLAGS_RF can be lost, we probably do not care.
Oleg.
