I noticed this has another copy of all the backwards compatibility
syscalls in its arch/*/kernel/syscall.c file. This doesn't make
sense for a new architecture added to the tree.

Chris, are there any existing binaries that rely on your implementations
of old_mmap, sys_fork, sys_vfork, sys_olduname or sys_ipc and need to
work with future kernels? Otherwise, you should probably drop these.
For sys_ipc, you would need to add the subcalls directly to the table,
like parisc does.
