I think either way is fine for the two examples. I think it's clear
that we want __NR_llseek as 62 and __NR_mmap2 as 222. Whether those
use the compat_sys_llseek/compat_sys_mmap2_wrapper or
sys_lseek/sys_mmap entry points is not overly important, we can use
whatever is more convenient to glibc: if we can kill off an
architecture specific wrapper function in glibc by adding one line
to the kernel, that seems worthwhile.

It's a bit confusing, because user space off_t matches the kernel's
off_t, loff_t, but not the __kernel_off_t from the uapi headers.
