    Mmm... so I should provide new syscalls for _all_
    architectures... gulp! :)

    It could be acceptable, just for the first release, to provide the
    support for x86 only?

    In this manner we can have a first release of LinuxPPS in the main
    line just for x86 and then me, or other people, may add support for
    the several supported architectures.

    I already have a basic testing program... I can add it into
    Documentation/pps directory, can't I?
