Subject: [PATCH] syscall_emul: add retry flag to SyscallReturn

This hook allows blocking emulated system calls to indicate
that they would block, but return control to the simulator
so that the simulation does not hang.  The actual retry
functionality requires additional support, to be provided
in a future changeset.
