The way to find out which syscall numbers are actually in use is to attach mdb 
to the live kernel, and check:

sysent::array | ::print struct sysent sy_callc

Check for "nosys" entries.

/etc/name_to_sysnum is only a text file that's being used by truss/dtrace 
to look up the names. Has no other purpose.

Do you need a system call number for your project ? You should propose 
that to the ARC community, traditionally syscall assignments have been 
done via project ARC cases.

Best wishes,
