Some architectures don't use socketcall, so they use a separate syscall.
IIRC, powerpc is migrating away from socketcall (commit
86250b9d12caa1a3dee12a7cf638b7dd70eaadb6, "powerpc: Wire up direct
socket system calls"), hence they added a separate call for it.

We never had it.
BTW, we have a hole at 218/219. I don't remember why, but it may have been
a placeholder for pselect6 and ppoll when that implementation was still in flux.
Couldn't find anything about it in git/cvs archives, so I'll check
have to check my
old mailing list archives...
