There's currently a mess with syscall numbers on the PPC arch, partially
because the syscall userd by MOL was never "reserved" in the kernel tree,
because I did my own hacking on special syscalls and forgot to remove my
added syscalls from my released pre9/pre10 kernels, and partially because
of some miscommunication when the LFS patches were applied.
This should be sorted out soon.
(BTW. Cort ? Any answer about my need for 4 reserved syscalls ?)
Ben.
