Thanks, it should be.

For this copyright issue, I have prepared two new versions without a line from
musl. even in our old version, most of them are different except the 'sc; bns+
1f; neg %1, %1; 1:' line and the register variables.

Seems 'sc; bns+ 1f; neg %1, %1; 1:' is also used in linux kernel:
arch/powerpc/include/asm/vdso/gettimeofday.h, so, it should be ok enough to
apply it.

The register varibles have been changed and aligned with othe arch-<ARCH>.h
locally, they are completely different now, and even further with the new
syscall.h mentioned in this reply [1], the file will be completely different.

Thomas, Have added your Reviewed-by lines too, thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Zhangjin
