Actually, looking at this further, what we probably want to do change the "int nb_args" field, which is already in syscall_metadata into a bit field. nb_args I think can be at most 6, or 3 bits, and we only need 4 bits for storing the enabled/disabled data, so we could even make it a char. Thus, actually saving space with this patch :) (at least as far as the syscall_metadata field is concerned).
Yeah, I'm fine with turning that into a count/flags field. -- Steve
