The parisc ABI allows for up to 8 register based arguments to a system (or indeed any function) call. However, in deference to the usual linux calling conventions, we only use seven of them (one for the syscall number and 6 for the arguments). We definitely use pselect6. I think the architecture you're thinking of is microblaze, but it's obsoleted it's seven argument version of pselect.
