Is there some reason why kern/Makefile isn't used to create the table at the same time as creating the other various syscall-related sources?How would you do that? See if the name contains, _aio_, _lio_, compat etc?
Well, there's already a MODULAR keyword for kern/makesyscalls.sh so it doesn't seem to be so difficult to possibly add one more parameter to those lines (to identify the name of the containing module). Then the MODULAR syscalls could all be listed in a new generated source file (perhaps kern/syscalls_autoload.h) and be included whereever neeeded (for now, that means kern/kern_syscall.h AFAICT).
Or am I totally misunderstanding this comment from kern/Makefile?
