Linus showed interest for a lot of things in the past. That does not mean
it makes things magically complete and ready.

As Michael pointed out there is no man page, not even a draft for it
available. See: Documentation/process/adding-syscalls.rst

Aside of that, since KS I have about 400 mails, i.e. 20 per work day,
regarding this stuff in my inbox. Seriously from the sheer amount of
discussion I had the impression that this in not yet in a shape to be
merged.
