  ...

Fix up new system-call-related conflicts in
	arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S
	arch/x86/include/asm/unistd_32.h
	arch/x86/include/asm/unistd_64.h
	arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S
(name_to_handle_at()/open_by_handle_at() vs clock_adjtime()), and some
due to movement of get_jiffies_64() in:
	kernel/time.c
