Willy suggested this before, besides the generic unistd.h users, I only
found one __NR_statx in arm64 and forgot the ones in the *.tbl files:

    $ grep -n statx -ur arch/ | cut -d ':' -f1,2 | tr ':' ' ' | awk '{printf("git blame -L %s,%s %s\n",$2,$2,$1);}' | bash

So, statx has been added from v4.10 (2017, a528d35e8bfcc) and the last
arch support is at least from v4.20 (2018, aff8503932004), perhaps
it is safe enough to only reserve the statx now, will simply replace
fstat with statx in the coming new revision of this patch, thanks very
much.

Did the same search for this:

    (not sure if we have missed some archs)

pselect6_time64 has been added from v4.20 and the last arch support is
at least from v5.0.0.

As we discussed in another reply, will add pselect6_time64 at first and
reserve the drop patch of the already added oldselect, newselect in the
future.

Thanks very much,
Zhangjin
