+ * These templates implement a variadic argument mechanism for guest ABI
+ * functions. A function might be written like this:
+ *
+ * void
+ * func(ThreadContext *tc, VarArgs<Addr, int> varargs)
+ * {
+ *     warn("Address = %#x, int = %d.",
+ *          varargs.get<Addr>(), varargs.get<int>());
+ * }
+ *
+ * where an object of type VarArgs<...> is its last argument. The types given
+ * to the template specify what types the function might need to retrieve from
+ * varargs. The varargs object will then have get<> methods for each of those
+ * types.
+ *
+ * Note that each get<> will happen live. If you modify values through the
+ * ThreadContext *tc and then run get<>(), you may alter one of your arguments.
+ * If you're going to use tc to modify state, it would be a good idea to use
+ * get<>() as soon as possible to avoid corrupting the functions arguments.
