Please read Documentation/stable_api_nonsense.txt for the explanation.

I'll be very blunt. Wiring up a new syscall is actually fairly easy and
straightforward. If you are having trouble figuring out how to do it when each
arch already has 200 to 300 already-done examples and 4 how-to tutorials off
the net, you're probably going to have even more trouble writing the actual
code of a syscall that does something more useful than doing a printk("Hello
world").
Sometimes, you need to admit to yourself that you're never going to
be a Formula One driver...
