Not sure...

Russell's patch to add an asm/syscalls.h fixes the other system call
sparse warnings in arm/arm/kernel/* but it doesn't fix the ones in
kernel/signal.c.  This patch does but, as Russell said, asm/unistd.h
is exported to it's a bit ugly.

BTW, arch/ia64 does something very similar:


#if !defined(__ASSEMBLY__) && !defined(ASSEMBLER)

#include <linux/types.h>
#include <linux/linkage.h>
#include <linux/compiler.h>

extern long __ia64_syscall (long a0, long a1, long a2, long a3, long a4, long nr);

asmlinkage unsigned long sys_mmap(
				unsigned long addr, unsigned long len,
				int prot, int flags,
				int fd, long off);
asmlinkage unsigned long sys_mmap2(
				unsigned long addr, unsigned long len,
				int prot, int flags,
				int fd, long pgoff);
struct pt_regs;
struct sigaction;
asmlinkage long sys_ia64_pipe(void);
asmlinkage long sys_rt_sigaction(int sig,
				 const struct sigaction __user *act,
				 struct sigaction __user *oact,
				 size_t sigsetsize);
