 From manual:

DESCRIPTION
        Do not use this system call.

        This  is  the low-level system call used to implement 
mq_getattr(3) and mq_setattr(3).  For an explanation of how this system 
call operates, see the description
        of mq_setattr(3).

It's already like this: we check for syscalls subfolders and compare 
them with syscalls file. If subfolder exists, we suppose to have tests 
for the specific syscall (of course, this doesn't include coverage).

Possible, but it might be a bit challenging
