Guy,

Ulrich has rejected this patch for the core glibc architectures, but I
think it should go into ports.

It would be excellent if ports had a central set of headers, each port
used those headers, and defined the different constants in
kernel-constants.h.

It's the same idea but without the cleanup for the core architectures,
only arm, alpha, mips, m68k, and hppa will use the cleanup.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Carlos.
