Ah, I see. I wondered somewhat when I included ftrace.h from syscall.h,
I didn't know why it stressed me but now I understand :-)

Though this is weird that both ia32 and ia64 definitions are allowed to be
included like that.

Anyway, I will put the syscalls tracing headers to a separate file to fix
that, thanks for reporting this!
