It's because adding syscalls is simple a giant pain, full of pitfalls
that are completely non-obvious.  When asked to add syscalls for
architectures I can't personally test I'll have to rely on the test
bot giving me some feedback - and it seems the wrong thing here will
just silently pass without any notice.

The change looks fine to me, but then again I just demonstrated a complete
lack of clue on asm-generic syscalls..
