    It's because adding syscalls is simple a giant pain, full of pitfalls
    that are completely non-obvious. When asked to add syscalls for
    architectures I can't personally test I'll have to rely on the test
    bot giving me some feedback - and it seems the wrong thing here will
    just silently pass without any notice.

    The change looks fine to me, but then again I just demonstrated a complete
    lack of clue on asm-generic syscalls..
