The kernel still needs to know about whether to call e.g. sys_llseek or
sys_lseek. The default syscall table contains llseek for 32-bit architectures,
but the current patch set uses lseek because that makes more sense when
you have 64-bit registers.

Yes, that's what I mean. Essentially we'd use the unmodified 32-bit API
here.

Ok.
