I want to avoid the implicit cast from 64-bit register to 32-bit that 
Volodymyr introduced in his series.
uint32_t pstate = get_user_reg(regs, 1);

IHMO this is a call to mistake. Another solution is to provide 3 helpers
        - get_user_reg32(...)
        - get_user_reg64(...)
	- get_user_reg(...) -> Return the full register (32-bit on ARM32, 
64-bit on ARM64).
This would at least document the return value of get_user_reg*.

Cheers,
