The membank stuff looks like a variation of the generic memblock interfaces.

With the generic system cal interface, this function should be replaced
with straight system calls for each of the subfunctions.

Just use things definitions like

#define __NR_cacheflush __NR_arch_specific_syscall
__SYSCALL(__NR_cacheflush, sys_uc32_cacheflush)
#define __NR_cmpxchg __NR_arch_specific_syscall+1
__SYSCALL(__NR_cmpxchg, sys_uc32_cacheflush

in your asm/unistd.h file.
