Re: [PATCH 17/23] powerpc: Enable compile-time check for syscall handlers

The table of syscall handlers and registered compatibility syscall
handlers has in past been produced using assembly, with function
references resolved at link time. This moves link-time errors to
compile-time, by rewriting systbl.S in C, and including the
linux/syscalls.h, linux/compat.h and asm/syscalls.h headers for
prototypes.

V1 -> V2: New patch.
V4 -> V5: For this patch only, represent handler function pointers as
unsigned long. Remove reference to syscall wrappers. Use asm/syscalls.h
which implies asm/syscall.h
Thanks, I think this is the right way to split the patches.

I'm not sure if I reported this issue, but I really like the patch.
