Not late, just in time. I increased the number of syscalls in earlier
versions, it must have gotten lost during a rejecting rebase, sorry.

I applied it to my tree and it can be applied to -mm and linux-next,
thanks!

The syscall for arm32 are also ready and on their way to the arm tree,
the testsuite worked fine there. ppc also should work fine if you
could confirm it'd be interesting, just beware that I got a typo in
the testcase:
