restGPRx is a function supplied by GCC's library. It restores the 
general purpose registers, restore the link reg from the stack, and 
return to the saved address. A GCC-generated function can call restGPRx 
when it needs to restore a bunch of registers and return. Calling this 
function doesn't necessarily indicate a bug, even if there's no call in 
the source code.
