Re: [patch review] Syscall for multi-arch support

Yao,

w.r.t., checking syscalls, Sami persued this and, I believe, got it 
working by cross checking against the audit package (that has a full 
system call list, and "must" be correct).  Having the cross check is 
very important as, maintaining the list is never done - linux will 
continue to breed system calls.

Perhaps Sami can fill in the details here.
