[PATCH RFC 1/1] UAPI,x86: export syscall numbers for all x86 archs

[David Drysdale]

Some userspace code occasionally has a need to reference the syscall
numbers for different-but-compatible architectures, so explicitly
export the generated files that contain the __NR_ia32_<name> and
__NR_x32_<name> constants.

Also, add a new generated unistd_64_amd64.h file, holding amd64
system call numbers in form __NR_amd64_<name>.

For example, this allows a seccomp-bpf filter to include filtering
for multiple architectures, and (in particular) to include x32
syscalls in an x86_64 filter.  (Programmatic control of the audit
framework is another possible use case.)
