A quick grep suggests that this is used primarily by osi_probe.c,  
both as a symbol to use to try and find the syscall table, and to  
define probe limits. Could we turn it into a weak reference, and just  
disable syscall probing where it doesn't exist? (I'd be highly  
surprised if distribution kernels which don't have init_mm have a  
writable syscall table).
