Linux syscall calling convention:
rax  - syscall number
rdi, rsi, rdx, r10, r8, r9  - arguments
return value placed in rax

Instruction set:

mov rax, imm64
>48 b8 IMM64
xor eax, eax (sets rax to 0, much shorter than mov rax, 0)
>31 c0
xor edx, edx
>31 d2
mov rdest, rsrc
ax	bx	cx	dx	sp	bp	si	di
0	3	1	2	4	5	6	7
>48 89 (dest | src << 3 | 0xc0)
mov r8, rax (for syscalls)
>49 89 c0
