Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/8] x86, syscalls: Refactor SYSCALL_DEFINEx macros

Thanks for the updated series! Looks nicer to me now.

I'd say it's easier to read if "name" is passed to this macro, and it is
expanded to sys_##name only within this macro...

... and in particular here (with compat_sys)

... same here

... and here.

Otherwise, a nice cleanup!

Thanks,
