While I'm all for using 'cpp-magic' to abstract and (hopefully)
simplify things. Token-pasting the sys_ here doesn't seem to gain
anything.
Anyone grepping the code for 'sys_chdir' is also going to
wonder where it is used.

There might be scope for something like:
#define syscall_wrapper(func, type) \
	static __attribute__((unused)) \
	int func(type *arg) \
	{ \
		return sysret(sys_#func(arg)); \
	}
and then:
syscall_wrapper(chdir, const char *)
would expand to the code above.

I think you'd need separate defines for each number of arguments.
