Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH] tracing/syscalls: Have ia32 compat syscalls show raw format

What?

Seriously, this has got to be a bad joke.

Either I'm not getting something here or this is just a nonstarter.

This feels like a hack upon a kluge upon a wart, and something that we'd
have to support forever.

No.  Realize that syscall number does not, and never have, been a unique
identifier for the system call, instead that is the (syscall number, ABI).
