>Description:

	Various functions -- mostly in compat_* -- are defined by
	creating syscall argument packages and invoking the syscall
	entry point:

		struct sys_foo_args ua;

		SCARG(&ua, x) = 42;
		SCARG(&ua, y) = pqr;

		sys_foo(l, &ua, retval);

	There have been some bugs with missing parameters that instead
	receive stack garbage.  We should systematically zero these
	argument packages.

>How-To-Repeat:

	code inspection

>Fix:

	memset(&ua, 0, sizeof(ua));
