So I dropped everything.  Let's start again from scratch.  I'd suggest that
for now we go with just an i386/x86_64 implementation, let the arch
maintainers wire things up when that has settled down.

It's my observation that that plan usually works the best. Arch maintainers come along and wire up batches of syscalls when they have a chance to glance at the ABI, and catch up with x86[-64].
