Specifically, this sort of patch series needs to be accompanied by an 
analysis of when the relevant syscalls were added for each supported 
architecture (and subarchitecture for cases with multiple syscall tables 
for different ABNs).  If present (in the syscall table as well as in 
asm/unistd.h) in the minimum kernel version, OK, otherwise you need 
appropriate __ASSUME_* conditionals (even if not present in the latest 
kernel, it might be added in future, so you should have those conditionals 
now to avoid breaking things when current glibc is compiled with future 
kernel headers).
