+ * the address at which the program should continue. No registers are
+ * modified, so it is entirely up to the continuation code to figure out
+ * what to do.
+ *
+ * All the routines below use bits of fixup code that are out of line
+ * with the main instruction path. This means when everything is well,
+ * we don't even have to jump over them. Further, they do not intrude
