I am thinking about a registration facility
system_call_register( ... ) system_call_unregister( ... ) /proc/system_call_list
ioctl_register( ... ) ioctl_unregister( .... ) /proc/ioctl_list
Then strace and mec-trace could read the lists via the /proc files and would not need their own tables that go out of date all the time.
