They "break" tracing by being invisible to syscall tracing. As you
really should know ;)

The syscall tracing feature depends on the wrappers that
SYSCALL_DEFINEx() creates. See the SYSCALL_TRACE_ENTER_EVENT() etc
crud in <linux/syscalls.h>

So there's no SYSCALL_METADATA for those system calls that weren't
created with the proper SYSCALL_DEFINE() wrappers.
