Good, but we also need syscall_get_arch for PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO.

No problem, I can revert to the previous edition of this patch
that just adds syscall_get_arch.
Alternatively, you can just take that couple of patches (v5 18/25
and v2 15/15) into your tree.

This is what most of other architectures do in syscall_get_arguments,
but I agree that a WARN_ON_ONCE should be enough.
