Yes, I was already contemplating on that one.

Done.  And updated to 2.6.2-rc3.

Many more syscalls added.  Complete patch (87 KB) is at
  http://developer.osdl.org/rddunlap/syscalls/2.6.2-rc3-syscalls.diff

Build allmodconfig and allyesconfig on P4.  Not booted yet.
Plan to boot Tue. Feb. 3.

Also plan to build on ia64, maybe some other $ARCH that I don't have....


More comments etc.?
I'm still searching for syscalls that I have missed.
