Currently, the sud_test expects the emulated syscall to return the
emulated syscall number. This assumption only works on architectures
were the syscall calling convention use the same register for syscall
number/syscall return value. This is not the case for RISC-V and thus
the return value must be also emulated using the provided ucontext.

Changes in V2:
 - Changes comment to be more explicit
 - Use A7 syscall arg rather than hardcoding MAGIC_SYSCALL_1

Thanks.

Thomas: looks like you picked up all the commits that touched this?  No 
rush on my end, just LMK if you want me to pick it up -- I'm going to 
leave it alone for now.
