That's possible a problem. Right. Someone with contacts to Debian here? If Debian hasn't rebuilt glibc against the new headers, we could change it without problems.
If not, we have a problem on AC... Anyone with a glibc that was compiled against our patched unistd.h (so including the new syscall numbers), will not be able to upgrade the kernel, but also needs to upgrade glibc and then *must* reboot :-(
