I had a detailed look at this one and provided lots of comments, however
one tiny thing escaped me:

It's odd that the second one uses __NR_arch_specific_syscall + 4 rather
than +1. If you can still change that changing too much other stuff,
that might avoid some head-scratching later. If it causes problems,
just leave it and maybe add a comment saying that the numbers
inbetween are still available.
