System call generation
Generate system calls. There's a prototype in staging. Interesting prospects include:
- Less places to edit to add system calls.
- Everything special can be hidden nicely and the kernel writers just write simple functions.
- No platform specific limitations, stuff can be emulated behind the scenes.
- Automatic parameter packing and unpacking for system calls with lots of arguments.
- System call tracing code can be automatically generated.
- And whatever else can be made from this.
