I don't know anything about alpha, but does the kernel actually
implement those OSF syscalls ? If not, it's unlikely we're going to
implement them in trinity, so we could probably do the same thing we did on ia64, and

#define SYSCALL_OFFSET 300 and skip all those ni_syscall entries.

Or am I missing something ?
