aargh. Any time anyone dinks with the syscall tables I have tons of fun
fixing up rejects. It doesn't help that both Stephane and Christoph's
patches were fairly broken.
Rules:
a) Keep unistd.h and the syscall tables in sync.
b) Keep ppc32 and powerpc[64] in sync
c) Add prototypes to syscalls.h (When the implementation goes in -
obviously not relevant when we're just reserving syscall slots)
d) Some architectures have multiple syscall tables. Stephane, you
missed arch/ia64/ia32/ia32_entry.S, for example. But then, that looks
to be seriously out of date anyway. No idea what's going on there.
e) review your work carefully. Grep the tree for, say, `getxattr' (or
any other syscall name which is unique-looking and which you expect all
architectures to implement).
Anyway, I have a shower of fixup patches here. Hopefully it all landed OK.
