SubjectRe: [RFC][v6][PATCH 8/9]: Define clone_with_pids() syscall

Since this is a variant of clone() and clone is listed as a PTREGSCALL(),
I pass in the pt_regs.

arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S lists clone() under this comment:

/*
* System calls that need a pt_regs pointer.
*/

Is there a guideline on what system calls use/need pt_regs ?

Thanks,

Suakdev
