Thanks for your feedback. Here's what I will do for v2, unless you find more
typos or areas for improvement:

/*
* Kernel code should not call syscalls (i.e., sys_xyzyyz()) directly.
* Instead, use one of the functions which work equivalently, such as
* the ksys_xyzyyz() functions prototyped below.
*/

Thanks,
Dominik
