Re: [PATCH] compatibility syscall layer (lets try again)

Wouldn't it be much easier to just keep the few system calls that need
to handle such magic system call restart in architecture specific
code ? There aren't that many of them. The arch part does not even
need to contain the full body of the syscall, just a wrapper around
a "do_*" function.

After all this 32bit emulation unification should be something to make
further development easier, not a cause in itself.
