Or is that not the approach you have in mind? In this case, the top-level entry points becomes unified, and you get the prototype from core_sys_select() with the native arguments. I would imagine this can be done like the way I proposed for get_bitmap() in sys_migrate_pages: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ Arnd
