I did a naieve "add them both to the .tbl" patch and the result booted to a
shell prompt, but that doesn't mean much. What arch-specific entry code does
clone3 need here? The SYSCALL_DEFINE2(clone3) in kernel/fork.c seems reasonably
straightforward? (Unlike the #ifdef stack around the previous clone...)

I looked at trying to fix that but it seems to be a compiler bug. Gcc is warning
about an ? : else case that's dead code eliminated. It's already GOT a test
protecting it from being evaluated...

In which case the stack size is going to be 64k as well?
