I noticed in powerpc, the not implemented syscalls are manually mapped
to sys_ni_syscall. It also has some special extra sys_ni_syscall()
implementation bits to handle both ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER and
!ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER. So wondering if it might need special
treatment. Did you see those parts?
I don't think it needs any special treatment. It's processed by the same
script as other arches (scripts/syscalltbl.sh). So if there's no compat
or native entry it will default to sys_ni_syscall.
I think it's just habit/historical that we always spell out sys_ni_syscall.
