I see. The syscall tables on arm seem to be generated in C code. So you
need the declarations.

This is a non-obvious change at first glance. I think it would make sense
to split this patch into at least three or four separate patches:
- one which introduces the infrastructure
- one which converts the non-obvious syscalls like this one
- one which converts the rest
- one which enables the architectures

You might consider adding a BUILD_BUG_ON() here, like within the s390 variant.

Personally I don't like the SYSCALL_DEFINE_WRAPx names too much. But that
can be changed easily if somebody comes up with a better name for it.

Given that the system call functions might be inlined, I think it would
make sense to remove the "notrace" attribute. Otherwise we would end up
with lots of untraceable (and unpatchable) functions. I didn't care back
then for the small compat wrappers...

It might make sense to add a define which adds both variants.

Btw. for future versions please add linux-arch to cc.
