No, you'd be better of figuring out which ones you can support and which
ones you have to -ENOSYS. CONFIG_MMU=n is not a "get out of syscalls
free" card. Many of these have no dependency on CONFIG_MMU, anyways.

when you say -ENOSYS, do you mean we need sys_foo() that simply does
return -ENOSYS or do we just let the default syscall code go "__NR_foo
is not registered, return -ENOSYS"
