RISC-V: Make __NR_riscv_flush_icache visible to userspace
We were hoping to avoid making this visible to userspace, but it looks like we're going to have to because QEMU's user-mode emulation doesn't want to emulate a vDSO. Having vDSO-only system calls was a bit unothodox anyway, so I think in this case it's OK to just make the actual system call number public. This patch simply moves the definition of __NR_riscv_flush_icache availiable to userspace, which results in the deletion of the now empty vdso-syscalls.h. Changes since v1: * I've moved the definition into uapi/asm/syscalls.h rathen than uapi/asm/unistd.h. This allows me to keep asm/unistd.h, so we can keep the syscall table macros sane. * As a side effect of the above, this no longer disables all system calls on RISC-V. Whoops!

|

* in there for forwards compatibility.
