This lets me run the following invocation without a hitch:

tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 10 --configs "4*SRCU-P" --trust-make

where before I would get some errors building the initrd due to missing
__NR_foo.

Thanks for having a look at this! And kuddos to Mark for nudging the
