You're missing the information about what platforms this patch was tested 
on with the full glibc testsuite.  That's critical information for such a 
patch submission, which needs testing on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.  
(Later patches supporting using new syscalls will need testing on 
additional configurations, including building with old kernel headers; 
building with kernel headers with the new syscalls but running on a kernel 
without them; and building with new kernel headers and running on a kernel 
with the new syscalls.)
