Ok, thanks for clarifying.

Agreed, we should split that out on all architectures as well. Almost the same set of architectures that have sys_socketcall also have sys_ipc, and the reasons for changing are identical. I don't think we have any other system calls that are handled like this on some architectures but not on others. There are a couple of system calls (e.g. futex) that are also multiplexers, but at least they do it consistently.
