Masahiro,

wanted to test on sparc64, but I'm unable to cleanly apply your patch
series to current master of
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

saved in all patches from mutt MUA to mbox (syscalltbl-mbox) file
format (except of 00/27) and tried to apply via git-am:

$ git desc
v5.11-rc5-40-g76c057c84d28

$ git am < ~/syscalltbl-mbox
Applying: xtensa: syscalls: switch to generic syscalltbl.sh
error: patch failed: arch/xtensa/kernel/syscalls/Makefile:16
error: arch/xtensa/kernel/syscalls/Makefile: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 xtensa: syscalls: switch to generic syscalltbl.sh
hint: Use 'git am --show-current-patch=diff' to see the failed patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".

But if take out body of the first patch (xtensa.patch) out of mbox, it
does cleanly applies via "patch -p1"

Can someone suggest how do i apply this patch series to my local git tree?
Thanks.
