Finally, this is the ground work to solve the Y2038 issue. We need to add two dozen of system calls to solve Y2038 issue. So this patch series will help to add new system calls easily by adding new entry in the syscall.tbl.
You have great optimism that anyone will care about ia64 in 2038 :-)
Patches look good now. If I don't see any comments in the next few days I'll queue them for next merge window.
Thanks
