For example, something like 'sys_read()' is pointed to by both
syscalls_metadata and compat_syscalls_metadata. Thus, the same syscall
metadata record is referenced by two different tables. That said, I'm not
making use of compat_syscall_nr. Although it could be added to the
checks in 'reg_event_syscall_enter()', to make sure that the
compat_syscall_nr is valid.

ok. will update.

yeah...I did that to add local variables at the beginning of the block
so I wouldn't get unused warnings. A separate function is probably
cleaner...will fix.
