epoll_create2() is needed to accept EPOLL_USERPOLL flags

Can you explain in the patch description more what it's needed for?
Sure. Will update on next iteration.
The man page only states that "Since Linux 2.6.8, the size argument
is ignored", so your description above does not explain why you need
to add the size argument back.

The table changes all look correct and complete, provided we
don't get another patch picking the same number.
Good. I had doubts, because on some archs there is a gap,
(sys_clone3 was missing). So I left a placeholder, so
can be uncommented when sys_clone3 is implemented.
