How far would you want to take this? New syscalls is one thing, but
there are frequently additions to "subsystem APIs", e.g. in networking,
that aren't really syscalls but part of netlink etc. Trying to vet all
of that might very well end up just overwhelming the process, but on the
other hand it's still something that probably should be done in some
form.
