Subject: Generic syscall ABI support

Need advise regarding the generic syscall ABI support.

We are planning to upstream our Nios II kernel (arch/nios2) to mainline.
But it doesn't support generic syscall ABI yet (It requires an updated
Glibc port as well). 

The question is, is it a requirement for new arch to support generic
syscall ABI when upstreaming? Can we upstream a non-generic syscall ABI
first and migrate to generic syscall ABI in future?
Thanks.

Regards
LFTAN
