[PATCH] Fix sync_file_range on ppc/ppc64


Hi!

I've noticed that sync_file_range is a stub on ppc/ppc64.
The kernel on these arches provides sync_file_range2 syscall with swapped
parameters.
The following completely untested patch ought to fix this.

BTW, on all arches, the glibc prototypes for sync_file_range (as well as
sync_file_range.c) use from and to argument names, while kernel uses offset
and nbytes.  As the kernel uses endbyte = offset + nbytes, I'd say naming
the arguments this way is very confusing.

As this is a second busted syscall wrapper for ppc/ppc64 discovered in the
last fortnight, maybe it would be best if somebody went through all the
recently added syscalls (last 6 years or so) and verified the wrappers
on ppc/ppc64 match the kernel ABI.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sync_file_range.c (sync_file_range):
	Implement using sync_file_range2 syscall if __NR_sync_file_range2
	is defined.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/sync_file_range.c: New
	file.
