Subject: Unimplemented syscalls on Alpha

I couldn't but help notice the increasing number of unimplemented syscalls
on the Alpha architecture.  I thought I might poke around to see what might
be required to get these implemented and got a pleasant surprise when it
seems some only need an entry in the syscall table.  Indeed, the patch in
reply to this message gets preadv and pwritev going -- tested with the
sample program at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/6/535.

I am happy to write patches to wire up more of the syscalls, but I am
wondering which ones are as straightforward as the preadv/pwritev case?
That is, do any require extra programming other than the syscall table?  Do
I need to get the entries in the syscall table in the same order as other
architectures?

The unimplemented syscalls on Alpha are:
