OK... that was not expected.

Oops, thanks for finding.

OK, so even if it is not supported on those, we need to put it as a
placeholder.

OK, I think it is good. But you missed to fix a selftest code which
also needs to be updated.

Could you revert commit 3e301b431b91 ("selftests/bpf: Change uretprobe
 syscall number in uprobe_syscall test") too?
