The table of syscall handlers and registered compatibility syscall
handlers has in past been produced using assembly, with function
references resolved at link time. This moves link-time errors to
compile-time, by rewriting systbl.S in C, and including the
linux/syscalls.h, linux/compat.h and asm/syscalls.h headers for
prototypes.

V1 -> V2: New patch.
V4 -> V5: For this patch only, represent handler function pointers as
unsigned long. Remove reference to syscall wrappers. Use asm/syscalls.h
which implies asm/syscall.h

Thanks, I think this is the right way to split the patches.

I'm not sure if I reported this issue, but I really like the patch.
