This should be wired up on each and every architecture.
Currently we're getting

    <stdin>:1567:2: warning: #warning syscall cachestat not implemented [-Wcpp]

in linux-next for all the missing architectures.

Is that wise?  We risk adding a syscall to an architecture without the
arch maintainers and testers even knowing about it.

The compile-time nag is there to inform the arch maintainers that a new
syscall is available and that they should wire it up, run the selftest
and then ship the code if they're happy with the result.
