Subject: [C/R ARM][PATCH 1/3] ARM: Rudimentary syscall interfaces

This small commit introduces a global state of system calls for ARM
making it possible for a debugger or checkpointing to gain information
about another process' state with respect to system calls.

The patch is based on this proposal from Roland McGrath:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/32101/
