Subject: Calling system call from User-mode Linux?

I'm trying to add some functionality to User-mode Linux that requires
the UML kernel to call a custom syscall I've added to the host kernel.
This should be technically possible since UML runs in the userspace,
but I can't figure out how to call the syscall, as the syscall()
function isn't defined in UML. Are there other ways I can accomplish
this?

Thanks,
Phil
