This series contains a couple of minor cleanups and a major change
to the way that x32 syscalls work.  We currently have a range of
syscall numbers starting at 512 that are rather annoying -- they've
been known to cause security problems for seccomp filter authors who
don't know about them, and they cause people to think that x86_64
will run out of syscall numbers after 511 due to a conflict with
x32.

With this series applied, 512-547 can be just a silly legacy oddity
just like all the other silly legacy oddities we have, and we can go
on with our lives without kludges starting at 548 :)

Andy Lutomirski (4):
  x86/syscalls: Use the compat versions of rt_sigsuspend() and
    rt_sigprocmask()
  x86/syscalls: Disallow compat entries for all types of 64-bit syscalls
  x86/syscalls: Split the x32 syscalls into their own table
  x86/syscalls: Make __X32_SYSCALL_BIT be unsigned long
