Arch-abstraction:
- Started overhauling the syscalls to account for different architectures;
  in particular, accounts for the fact that the __NR_foo syscall number
  often doesn't directly match with the sys_foo() function that implements the
  function in the Linux kernel.  So started introducing this indirection as
  needed.  Currently, only read() and write() have been done;  the transition
  will be staged, since doing all syscalls in one hit is a total pain.

  This will also pave the way for scalar syscall arg checking with Memcheck,
  now that it is clear what the prototypes of the relevant syscalls are.

- Removed support for 2.2 kernels in the configure test, after discussion with
  Julian.  If it causes major problems, we can consider reverting.
