+What: The kernel syscall interface
+Description:
+ This interface matches much of the POSIX interface and is based
+ on it and other Unix based interfaces. It will only be added to
+ over time, and not have things removed from it.
+
+ Note that this interface is different for every architecture
+ that Linux supports. Please see the architecture-specific
+ documentation for details on the syscall numbers that are to be
+ mapped to each syscall.
