Subject: [PATCH 0/6] tracing: add compat syscall support

Hi,

This series adds 'compat' syscall tracing support, and updates x86_64 to use
this new functionality. Other arches still need to be implemented.

To provide arch support 3 interfaces need to be defined:
1) int is_compat_task(void);
  - most arches seem to have this already
2) unsigned long arch_compat_syscall_addr(int nr); 
  - returns a pointer to the compat syscall entry corresponding to syscall 'nr'
3) int NR_syscalls_compat;
  - number of entries in the compat syscall table.

Patches #1 and #2 in the series, implement the "NR_syscalls_compat" and the
"arch_compat_syscall_addr()" for x86.

Patches #3 and #4 add the necessary 'core' support for compat syscalls to the
event tracing code.

Finally, patches #5 and #6 convert 28 x86 compat syscalls to use the 
'DEFINE_SYSCALL' macros, which is necessary for syscall tracing.

thanks,

-Jason
