Looking at "consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations",
is it worth having the default __SYMBOL_NAME declaration in
include/linux/linkage.h make use of CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX?

E.g. in the metag patchset we currently have the patch below.

Admittedly CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is a string which would make it's use in
SYMBOL_NAME a bit awkward.

Cheers

Subject: [PATCH v3 02/44] asm-generic/unistd.h: handle symbol prefixes in
cond_syscall

Some architectures have symbol prefixes and set CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX,
but this wasn't taken into account by the generic cond_syscall. It's
easy enough to fix in a generic fashion, so add the symbol prefix to
symbol names in cond_syscall when CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set.
