Please add a comment there, similar to what is in syscalls.h:

	/*
	 * Kernel code should not call syscalls (i.e., sys_xyzyyz()) directly.
	 * Instead, use one of the functions which work equivalently, such as
	 * the ksys_xyzyyz() functions prototyped below.
	 */

Once you have done so, feel free to add my

Thanks,
