thanks for your guidance

Using holes will cause the definition of __NR__sysctl to be missing in 
include/asm/unistd_32.h and include/asm/unistd_64.h

For arm64, I observed that "sys_afs_syscall", "sys_get_kernel_syms" and 
other commented out syscalls have no corresponding definition _NR_XXX in 
unistd.h, is it not a problem on arm64?

                         /* 127 was sys_create_module */
__SYSCALL(127, sys_ni_syscall)

                         /* 130 was sys_get_kernel_syms */
__SYSCALL(130, sys_ni_syscall)

                         /* 137 was sys_afs_syscall */
__SYSCALL(137, sys_ni_syscall)
