We should add the following so we are complaint to the ILP32 ABI
dealing with pointers don't have to be zero extended for arguments,
Note ZERO should most likely be ZERO_PTR or something to do that
effect, I am not so good with names.
#ifdef __LP64__
#define ZERO(n)
#else
#define ZERO(n)         mov     w##n, w##n
#endif

...
ENTRY(__kernel_gettimeofday)
        .cfi_startproc
        ZERO(0)
        ZERO(1)
...
ENTRY(__kernel_clock_gettime)
        .cfi_startproc
        ZERO(1)
...
ENTRY(__kernel_clock_getres)
        .cfi_startproc
        ZERO(1)

Thanks,
