Very nice patch, too bad we didn't already do that ages ago ;)

This would not build on any of the architecture mentioned, because of
incorrect placement of curly braces, but as Al mentioned it should just
go away entirely.

I did not see you add the prototype back into include/linux/syscalls.h,
which is required for building some architectures, including ppc64 with
SPU support.
