A register set consists of a number of + * similar slots, given by @n. Each slot is @size bytes, and aligned to + * @align bytes (which is at least @size). + * + * These functions must be called only on the current thread or on a + * thread that is in %TASK_STOPPED or %TASK_TRACED state, that we are + * guaranteed will not be woken up and return to user mode, and that we + * have called wait_task_inactive() on.
