The syscalltbl held entries of system call name and number pairs, generated from a native syscalltbl at start up. As there are gaps in the system call number there is a notion of index into the table. Going forward we want the system call table to be identifiable by a machine type, for example, i386 vs x86-64. Change the interface to the syscalltbl so (1) a (currently unused machine type of EM_HOST) is passed (2) the index to syscall number and system call name mapping is computed at build time. Two tables are used for this, an array of system call number to name, an array of system call numbers sorted by the system call name. The sorted array doesn't store strings in part to save memory and relocations. The index notion is carried forward and is an index into the sorted array of system call numbers, the data structures are opaque (held only in syscalltbl.c), and so the number of indices for a machine type is exposed as a new API. The arrays are computed in the syscalltbl.sh script and so no start-up time computation and storage is necessary.
