Hmm. So I could enable the cache logic to every architecture (one
patch per arch) that does not have the sparse syscall numbers, and
then have the proc reporting after the arch patches? I could do that.
I don't have test machines to run anything other than x86_64 or ia32,
so they will need a closer look by people more familiar with those
arches.

Ok, let me know if I can help.
