Yes, that list looks right. IPC also includes a set of six sys_mq_*
call, but I believe that everyone already has those as they are not
covered by sys_ipc.

For y2038 compatibility, we will likely add a new variant of
semtimedop that takes a 64-bit timespec. While the argument passed
there is a relative time that will never need to be longer than 68
years, we need to accommodate user space that defines timespec
in a sane way, and converting the argument in libc would be awkward.
