There is also another change that I considered:

At the end of my series, we have a lot of entries like

245 32 clock_settime sys_clock_settime32
245 64 clock_settime sys_clock_settime
245 spu clock_settime sys_clock_settime

which could be folded into

245 32 clock_settime sys_clock_settime32
245 spu64 clock_settime sys_clock_settime

if we just add another option to the ABI field. Any thoughts on
that?
