Thanks for refreshing my memory!

Splitting my first patch as suggested by Al in order to defer handling
of the syscall_trace_enter() return code would achieve what Geert
suggested (eliminate m68k syscall_trace() altogether) without risk of
regression. This would need to replace Eric's patch 8.

Do you want me to send such a version based on my old patch series, or
would you rather prepare that yourself, Eric?

Cheers,

Michael
