Check for the magic comment. Work out whether the C function's semantics
do in fact correspond to those of a syscalls.list entry (and if so, what
variant - some cases may be 'C' (cancellable), 'E' (no errno - if
INTERNAL_SYSCALL rather than INLINE_SYSCALL is used) or 'V'). If so, work
out what syscalls.list entries are needed as a replacement, allowing for
other architectures that may #include the C file, and for existing
syscalls.list entries that may suffice in some cases. If the semantics
don't correspond to a syscalls.list entry, fix the comment to explain why
syscalls.list isn't being used.
