Remove unused __syscall_count

Subject:  [PATCH] Remove unused __syscall_count
Date:  Thu, 03 Jul 2003 16:11:33 +1000
Cc:  linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

Noone complained: Linus, please apply.

Noone seems to use __syscall_count.  Remove the field from i386
irq_cpustat_t struct, and the generic accessor macros.

Because some archs have hardcoded asm references to offsets in this
structure, I haven't touched non-x86, but doing so is usually
trivial.

Name: Remove unused __syscall_count from irq_stat struct.

Status: Tested on 2.5.73-bk8
