tracehook: asm/syscall.h
This adds asm-generic/syscall.h, which documents what a real
asm-ARCH/syscall.h file should define. This is not used yet, but will
provide all the machine-dependent details of examining a user system call
about to begin, in progress, or just ended.
Each arch should add an asm-ARCH/syscall.h that defines all the entry
points documented in asm-generic/syscall.h, as short inlines if possible.
This lets us write new tracing code that understands user system call
registers, without any new arch-specific work.
