	this commit shuffles around the location of syscall definitions so that we can make a syscall() library function with both SYS_* and __NR_* style syscall names available to user applications, provides the syscall() library function, and optimizes the code that performs the actual inline syscalls in the library itself. previously on i386 when built as PIC (shared library), syscalls were incurring bus lock (lock prefix) overhead at entry and exit, due to the way the ebx register was being loaded (xchg instruction with a memory operand). now the xchg takes place between two registers. further cleanup to arch/$(ARCH)/syscall.h is planned.
2011-02-15	remove standalone syscall cruft	Rich Felker	-11/+1
	this was originally written for an early draft of the library where non-standard functions would reside in a static library separate from the shared libc.so, which would implement a pure standard. the idea was not to depend on an implementation-dependent __syscall_ret function in the main libc. but it turned out to be better to put everything in a single library for both static and dynamic linking uses, and thus the (incomplete) remnants of this feature were just enlarging the source and binary.
