Referring to syscall numbers in .S files

[Joseph Myers]

The x86_64 and x86 lowlevellock.h files have:

/* XXX Remove when no assembler code uses futexes anymore.  */
#define SYS_futex               __NR_futex

There are (at least) three ways in which .S files refer to syscall 
numbers:

* Using SYS_* names.  This is *only* for SYS_futex references for x86_64 
and x86, apart from a few stray references:

./sysdeps/unix/syscall.S:#ifndef SYS_syscall
./sysdeps/unix/syscall.S:#define SYS_syscall    0
./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/clone.S:#define SYS_clone 120

* Using __NR_* names (the Linux kernel convention) directly.

* Using the SYS_ify macro.  All such uses are in fact in 
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux files, with individual architecture redefining the 
macro in their sysdep.h files to __NR_##syscall_name (there is no shared 
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sysdep.h for such things).

What approach should be preferred?  Given that only SYS_futex directly 
uses SYS_* names in Linux-specific code, maybe those ought to change to 
another approach anyway, independent of any removal of the remaining 
architecture-specific futex-using .S files?
