I would prefer to introduce something in checksyscalls.sh that allows us
to do something arch specific.
I recall that x86_64 had one syscall implemented using VDSO or similar
and therefore got listed.
This is just a quick hack - can be done better by someone that is more
fluent in shell scripting...

Then adding a fie like this to include/asm-x86_64 will allow us to ignore getcpu
for x86_64 only.
# syscalls that are ignored for x86_64
