Subject: Re: [PATCHv4 1/6] actual sys_indirect code
cool patchset. Small nit, the series is not bisectable:

indirect.o is built unconditionally, but it wont build at this stage
because asm/indirect.h is only introduced in later patches. I suspect a
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_INDIRECT_SYSCALLS Kconfig flag, and its use in the
Makefile ought to do the trick. (it also reduces object size on
architectures that have no support for indirect syscalls (yet))
