Jiri, would it be possible to put __NR_prlimit64 as number 261 in
<asm-generic/syscall.h>?  This would avoid the requirement for Tilera
users to have a "flag day" to renumber some of our syscalls.  I assume
there are no users at all of this flavor of the __NR_prlimit64 syscall
number yet otherwise, except the "score" architecture folks who
presumably wouldn't have started trying to use the syscall yet.

Thanks, and Stephen, thanks for the fixup.
