This looks correct to me, builds fine, and I asume has been tested, so FWIW:

Acked-by: Mark Rutland <[email-masked]>

In looking at this, I came to the conclusion that we can drop the ifdeffery
around our SYSCALL_DEFINE0(), COND_SYSCALL(), and SYS_NI(), which I evidently
cargo-culted from x86 (where the ifdeffery is actually necessary).

I can send a follow up for that.

Thanks,
Mark.
