It might very well be worth doing a full series, though - after all,
they are not hard to grep for ((COMPAT_)?SYSCALL_DEFINE[0-6] would get
you almost all of them, with rest consisting of weird shit in arch/*
that more often than not would be better off switched to SYSCALL_DEFINE).

The reason why it's worth doing completely or not at all is that partial
series will serve as an invitation to the alt.sex.masturbation.commit.count
crowd, with the usual quality of output...
