In the above call, syscall_exit is treated as a function pointer. It points to an 8-byte aligned
function descriptor.  The descriptor holds the actual address of the function.  It only needs
4-byte alignment.

Descriptors need 8-byte alignment for efficiency on 64-bit parisc. The pc and gp are accessed
using ldd instructions.
