It looks to me like they were reserved _long_ ago by AT&T for
something called "UNIX PC," but never used.  They predate Solaris.

I have no idea if they were ever used ... but why would this matter?
The syscall interface is private to the ON consolidation.  The numbers
in use aren't documented, and may change at any time.  In particular,
if you compile these into an application and generate your own system
calls, your application may stop working at any time, without notice,
even in a patch.

Unless you're integrating something into ON via OpenSolaris, you
probably shouldn't be relying on these.
