In line with Arnd's recent changes to consolidate syscall numbers across
architectures, I have added the pidfd_open() syscall to all architectures
at the same time.
Thanks! I've checked that the ones you have added are all
done correctly. However, double-checking that you got all of them,
I noticed that you missed mips-o32 and mips-n64. With those added:

Perfect, will plumb mips-o32 and mips-n64 and resend once more with your
ack added.
Sidenote: You plan on merging the common syscall tables or will there be
a script to do this work per-arch in the future?
David Howells also asked about this. I think having a common table will
be best in the long run, patches welcome.

As you noticed, there are still a few minor differences between the files
on mips, arm, x86, alpha and s390, and we are missing the .tbl files
for arm-compat and asm-generic, as well as an architecture independent
script.

Once that is all taken care of, we can move the entries for syscall
403 and higher into a common file, and change the script to pick
up the contents from there in addition to the architecture specific
file.
