Oops. This was the intention of the code in mkcall() that calls
do_syscall().

152         /* Some architectures (IA64/MIPS) start their Linux syscalls
153          * At non-zero, and have other ABIs below.
154          */
155         call += SYSCALL_OFFSET;

Looking at that code closer, it seems that the code around line 193
will do the wrong thing on MIPS/IA64 because we've done this addition.

I'm wondering if just removing those lines I just quoted would be
the right thing to do (after applying your patch).
