I don't want to know why is used sys_ipc rather than sys_msgctl.
I think there were some historical reasons for that.
But I wanted to know if someone have patches on it because I would like to
remove sys_ipc from Microblaze syscall table and of course sys_ipc implementation.
For that I need to have support for separate ipc syscalls in glibc.
