  Most system calls seems to get added to i386 first. This patch
  automatically generates a warning for any new system call which is
  implemented on i386 but not the architecture currently being compiled.
  On PowerPC at the moment, for example, it results in these warnings:
  init/missing_syscalls.h:935:3: warning: #warning syscall sync_file_range not implemented
  init/missing_syscalls.h:947:3: warning: #warning syscall getcpu not implemented
  init/missing_syscalls.h:950:3: warning: #warning syscall epoll_pwait not implemented

  The file scripts/checksyscalls.sh list a number of legacy system calls
  that are ignored because they only makes sense on i386 systems.

  Other contributors to this patch are Russell King
  and Stéphane Jourdois
