In which case you'll need to modify the actual kernel. The syscall map is
static and its a very dangerous thing to play with as you shouldnt assume
its just going to be a vector table. We pull tricks already - eg the sparc
uses the low bit of the vector to indicate a call it can skip the expensive
window saving on.
