asm-generic/unistd.h defines the system call for a few
architectures. 

grep -r asm-generic/unistd.h arch/*/include/
arch/arc/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>
arch/arc/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:/* Generic syscall (fs/filesystems.c - lost in asm-generic/unistd.h */
arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>
arch/c6x/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>
arch/h8300/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>
arch/hexagon/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>
arch/metag/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>
arch/nios2/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>
arch/openrisc/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>
arch/score/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>
arch/tile/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>
arch/unicore32/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>

Wiring up the system call in this header means adding
support for this system call on all those architectures.

Thanks,

Mathieu
