[LTP] [PATCH 0/4] Automatically generate syscalls.h

The problem we have at the moment is that all syscalls input files must
be changed by hand each time we need to test a new syscall. The idea is
to simplify this process, providing a script that is able to read from
kernel sources and to generate all syscalls files we need.

This is done by the generate_syscalls.sh script that can be used as
following:

./generate_syscalls.sh path/to/kernel/source path/to/syscalls.h

This approach requires a certain type of attention, due to the fact that
we need to generate syscalls.h at each kernel version, or when new
syscalls have been added in the kernel.
