Sadly, yes.  The zeros should have never been introduced in the code, so
I'm hiding them for the moment.
I planned to remove the useless zeros in future patches.

Sounds reasonable to me.  I will try to fix the insane tracepoint bloat,
and send a v2 that fills only the correct amount of registers for the
ecall instruction.

I would have preferred if sbi.h had a wrapper function for each SBI
function, and we never allowed direct invocation of the ecall
instruction outside of the library.
