I saw several months ago here a message, telling about a new system call,
that returnes a syscall number, by its name. So, if a module registers a
new syscall dynamically, it is automatically seen by everybody.
Is this idea dead?
Best regards.

It's stillborn - modules are not (and will not be) allowed to add syscalls.
Case closed.
