Hi Arnd,

The IPC system call handling is highly inconsistent across architectures, some use sys_ipc, some use separate calls, and some use both. We also have some architectures that require passing IPC_64 in the flags, and others that set it implicitly.

We already have a gap at 366-377 from when we tried to add the split IPC calls a few years back.

I guess I don't mind leaving that gap and using the common numbers as you've done here.

But it would be good to add a comment pointing out that we have room at 366 for more arch specific syscalls as well.

cheers

Guess I sent that one twice. 🤦

cheers
