syscall numbers larger than 255?

Just a quick and simple question for someone that knows the answer.

Stock 2.4.20 for i386 uses syscalls up to 252. I want to add about a half-dozen new syscalls (forward porting stuff that we've got on 2.4.18).

Does x86 support syscall numbers > 255? If yes, do I have to do anything special to use them? If not, what are my options?

Thanks,

Chris
