2.1.18: Bad syscall number for new query_module syscall

I already sent this to Linus and Richard, but for all the rest of
linux-kernel who cannot get the new alpha module-utilities to work:

include/asm-i386/unistd.h defines the wrong syscall number for the
new query_module syscall - it's set to 166, but should be 167 (166
is the improved vm86 syscall introduced in 2.1.15).

After patching you'll need to recompile Richard Henderson's alpha
module-utils. I still get some unresolved symbols, but at least
insmod behaves more reasonable.

BTW, anyone from the dosemu group want to comment on whether the old
or the new vm86 syscall should be named "vm86" ? To avoid name
clashes, perhaps the new vm86 syscall (166) should be "vm86plus" ...
