--- Patch [9]: [PATCH v5 09/13] mips: Use the common syscall table ---

mips: Use the common syscall table

This commit merges the n32 and n64 syscall tables into a single table and
updates the toolchain to use this common table. It also drops duplicated
code and modifies the MIPS build Makefile to adapt to these changes.

[Severity: Low]
Does this cause the build script to fail for n32 and n64? The cmd_syshdr
command still references $<. In the $(uapi)/unistd_%.h rule below, this
evaluates to $(src)/syscall_%.tbl, which no longer exists for those ABIs.

[Severity: Low]
Will this rule break since it still relies on $(src)/syscall_%.tbl? Since
syscall_n32.tbl and syscall_n64.tbl were deleted, this might cause make
to fail when attempting to build the uapi headers.

[Severity: Low]
Can removing the $(src)/syscall_%.tbl dependency break incremental builds?
It appears that if the source table is modified, this rule will no longer
trigger a rebuild of the syscall_table_%.h header.
