| rant.  We have soooo many syscalls declared in .c files.  We had a bug due
| to this a while back.  Problem is, we have no anointed header in which to
| place them.  include/linux/syscalls.h would suit.  And unistd.h for
| arch-specific syscalls.  But that's not appropriate to this patch.


I am working on this.  Is anyone else?

I have parts 2.6.1-non-arch* ready for testing, I believe,
except that it will likely require more changes/additions.

I have begun on 2.6.1-arch* but still have a ways to go.

Caveats:
I have only patched 2.6.1.  I will update patches for 2.6.2-rc-current.
I have only tested by building allmodconfig on P4.
Have not test-booted yet.

Patch files for 2.6.1 are here:

Do these look OK, as far as they go?  or am I way off?
