You don't need this cosmetic change.

Can't you just remove the add as well, them fall-through here?

Is this supposed to work for OABI? If so, better use __NR_SYSCALL_BASE.

Make this an else if, for clarity?

Doesn't this always result in bad_syscall being called, which sends a SIGILL
to the task? Shouldn't we simply return -ENOSYS instead? You could do that
in the assembly code.

Again, not going to work for OABI.
