A while ago I was trying to build a seccomp-bpf filter program that would survive a change of x86 architecture. This was complicated for all sorts of reasons, but one of the problems was that the different syscall numbers aren't all available at the same time -- hence this patch. Naming-wise, Andy Lutomirski has indicated he'd prefer the prefixes to be __NR_x86_64_, __NR_x86_64_x32_ and __NR_i386_; however, for the latter two sets of numbers there are existing headers that use different prefixes (__NR_x32_ and __NR_ia32_), so altering those would involve a change and/or an additional set of definitions. For the new constants I've left in my original suggestion (__NR_amd64_) for the time being. What are folks' thoughts about the preferred naming for these?
