Why add a new syscall at all instead of just using a new CLONE_* flag to indicate that the argument layout is different?What an absolutely atrociously bad idea. We already have a syscall layer which is painful to thunk in places, and this would make it much worse.syscalls are cheap as well. cheaper than decades of dealing with such multiplexer mess ;/
It really comes down to wanting all the dispatch to happen in one central place. -hpa
