The initial requirement is to replace uapi and syscalltbl file with
the script as it is.
If I'm right, for oldstat has uapi header and syscalltbl entry is
sys_ni_syscall. So
the above change will replace uapi and syscalltbl as it is.

We'll do a cleanup for all 10 architectures, so that time we can
remove this (and similer)
entries.

Thanks
Firoz
