When not using OABI, __ARM_NR_BASE is zero, so I think the 32-bit semantics
for non-OABI are:

	0       - 399		: Invoke syscall via syscall table
	400     - 0xeffff	: -ENOSYS (to be allocated in future)
	0xf0000 - 0xfffff	: Private syscall or -ENOSYS if not allocated
	> 0xfffff		: SIGILL

so for arm64 compat, we need to do the following:

	1. Ensure we only SIGILL for that last region
	2. Don't pull the syscall number directly from pt_regs, since it
	   may have been changed by a tracer
	3. Hook up compat_sys_io_pgetevents

Patches incoming...
