[PATCH] powerpc: Reserve syscall number 319

Some stuff I'm working on that isn't released yet needs
a syscall number but I can't say what it's for until I
get permission to release it :-)

In the meantime, it would be nice if a number could be set
aside so the tools being developped to use that stuff don't
all need to be updated when things are eventually released.

I wonder if I'll get hanged for that one :-)
