ENTRY(__vfork14, 0)
	/*
	 * NB: __vfork14 is a tricky syscall.  We can't save
	 * any values on the stack, because the stack will be 
	 * trashed by the child, leaving garbage for when the
	 * parent returns.
	 *
	 * So we must save values in registers, specifically,
	 * registers that the kernel is willing to preserve
	 * across the syscall.  Normally, this would be callee-
	 * saved registers, with the kernel being the callee,
	 * but the problem is that we, too, are a callee, and
	 * would have to save that very same register somewhere,
	 * because *our* caller is counting on us to do so.
	 *
	 * What we need is a normally caller-saved register,
	 * that the kernel is willing to save for us.  The 
	 * syscall entry code in locore.S has been modified 
	 * to do just this for the t4 register.
