This is because some smart kernel developer decided that it is Evil for 
modules to manipulate (and in most cases use) the system call entry points, 
and decided to forbid it by removing the functionality. Various 
openafs-oriented people had been in touch with kernel developers to see if 
afs's needs could be met. I thought that something had been worked out...., 
but at first glance, I don't see a syscall registration function in any of 
the RH 8 kernel patches.

In any case, I think I this can be hacked around in redhat kernels by using 
kallsyms_symbol_to_address, but it will take me a few days before I'll be 
able to get to it (having to install a machine and all).
