I would have much more preferred we inject a kind of "syscall_map"
event for that. Unfortunately the event injection is still
in discussion and not yet ready.


I guess we can take this temporary solution and remove that
later in profit of injected events. It means we'll need to
keep support for that file though.


Hmm...
