No, that's not what I was referring to. I was thinking of the calls:

Are these for calling the host OS or calling the UML kernel?
If they are for the host, they can be implemented using syscall(),
otherwise by calling the sys_* functions directly.

OK, these are all calling the host, and using syscall() instead sounds
reasonable.
