- * \brief i386 context switch
+ * \brief x86_64 context switch
+ *
+ * x86_64 function call convention:
+ * --------------------------------
+ * arguments | callee-saved | extra caller-saved | return
+ * [callee-clobbered] | | [callee-clobbered] |
+ * -------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * rdi rsi rdx rcx r8-9 | rbx rbp [*] r12-15 | r10-11 | rax, rdx
+ *
+ * [*] In the frame-pointers case rbp must hold a base address for the
+ * current stack frame.
+ *
+ * asm_switch_context() can be considered as a normal function call, so we need
+ * to save all the callee-clobbered registers minus the return registers.
