Not everybody has a simple indexed list of pointers :) For example,
for vax-linux, we use a struct per syscall with the expected number of

So if something "new" is coming up, please keep in mind that it should
be flexible enough to represent that. :)


I discussed with Al Viro a while ago about using something like the SYSCALLS.def file from klibc as the source format for the system calls. That would deal very flexibly with almost all kinds of stub generation.
