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.
