sys_close undefined on x86_64

[John Stebbins]

Can someone tell me if this is a kernel bug or a problem with the module
I'm trying to compile?

I'm attempting to compile an external module for the PVR-250 mpeg-2
capture card (ivtv module).  The driver is a little behind the times,
but various people have persuaded it to compile and load on 2.6
systems.  I had it running on i386 arch 2.6 kernel earlier.  But I've
since upgraded to x86_64.

insmod fails with sys_close undefined message when attempting to load
the module.

The other sys_ functions seem to be there.

If the use of sys_close has been deprecated or something, could someone
please give me a pointer to the right way to do syscalls in the 2.6
kernels.  I've done some digging and just can't find any useful
information.

I'll be lurking on the kernel-list archives.

Thanks
John
