I wonder if we'd be better off doing the in_oabi_syscall() branch in
the common code. E.g. rename in_oabi_syscall to in_legacy_syscall and
stub it out for all other architectures. Then just do
if (in_oabi_syscall()
legacy_syscall_foo_bit();
else
normal_syscall_foo_bit();
in common code, where so far only arm provides
legacy_syscall_foo_bit().
Tons of long lines again in this patch..
