Well, since it is a kernel module, then it's correct...

Yes, because the name in the macro is used to build the "__NR_modify_ldt"

Ok, this makes me wonder a bit... there is something which may cause conflicts 
in the UML patch (i.e. renaming modify_ldt that way), but it is very 
*strange* that a kernel module uses the "_syscall" macro to do a syscall with 
"int 0x80" while already being in kernelspace...
