Ah.  Is that a naughty word in the UK?  If so I'll have to remember
that when I go to kernel summit. :)

It doesn't work because the 'flags' argument ends up in r9, and
we can only use r3-r8 for syscall arguments. We'll need to do it the
same way as ARM does, with the flags as the second argument.

Yes.  We'll need a wrapper for both 32-bit and for 32-on-64.

Or is it? Can we ditch sys_sync_file_range now and implement a new
sys_sync_file_range2 with the two 32-bit arguments first?

Would be nice...
