Your assumption holds on ARM and PA-RISC. They both take their arguments
in registers. Take a look in include/asm-*/unistd.h, this is where
the architecture defines how to make a system call. On the Alpha,
for example, it casts all arguments to long first, so I'm guessing your
assumption is true there too.
