When comparing this to the MMU comments in include/asm-generic/unistd.h,
I noticed this:

M68knommu does have:
  - sys_mbind
  - sys_get_mempolicy
  - sys_set_mempolicy
  - sys_migrate_pages
  - sys_move_pages

scripts/checksyscalls.sh ignores these on NOMMU, so I did not list them.
Are there any NOMMU system with NUMA support? If so, what are these
syscalls supposed to do in that case? I assume that they don't actually
change the physical location of a virtual address.

Since the unistd.h file is shared with m68k, I see nothing wrong here,
they should simply get stubbed out like the other NOMMU syscalls (swapon,
mprotect, msync, ...)

  - sys_fork, although it returns -EINVAL, not -ENOSYS

M68knommu does not implement:
  - sys_mremap
  - sys_nfsservct

Shouldn't you get a warning about these from scripts/checksyscalls.sh ?

mremap should really work, except for MREMAP_FIXED, as documented in mm/nommu.c.
nfsservctl is probably not needed, but I see no reason to leave it out either.
