i dont believe there is any documentation for syscalls.  you just have
to know which syscalls are outdated and which replace others ;).  i
think someone already pointed out a few to you in an earlier post ?
otherwise, feel free to ask about sets.

i dont recall if microblaze is no-mmu-only, mmu-only, or both ... you
should take care with comparing against Blackfin if microblaze
supports an mmu.  if it is no-mmu-only, then the Blackfin list should
be quite good for you start with as we turn off numa/mmu-only
functions as well as old stuff (like the poll/select/mmap/etc...
friends).
