Couple of things that I noticed aren't working well:

- when a system call fails, the return value and the error code are wrong.

- I'm not sure if frame.lr is the equivalent of regs.r_eip on i386. From 
the powerpc manuals, it looks like SRR0 contains the address where the 
syscall would return to.
