That works, but I think doing things the way that i386 does them is cleaner.

Andrew, can you stick the patch below into -mm and push it to Linus?

Redo the calculation of NR_syscalls since that disappeared from i386
and use a similar mechanism on x86_64.

We now figure out the size of the system call table in arch code and
stick that in syscall_table_size.  arch/um/kernel/skas/syscall.c
defines NR_syscalls in terms of that since its the only thing that
needs to know how many system calls there are.

The old mechananism that was used on x86_64 is gone.

arch/um/include/sysdep-i386/syscalls.h got some formatting since I was
looking at it.
