For the archives, the changes to the syscall table & the generation of
the spu.tbl can be more-or-less generated with the script below
(ignoring whitespace & comments).

cheers


#!/bin/bash

git checkout v5.8-rc1

read number abi name syscall compat <<< "$line"
if [[ "$syscall" != "sys_ni_syscall" ]]; then
if [[ "$name" == "utimesat" ]]; then # fix typo
