    Just a quick and simple question for someone that knows the answer.

    Stock 2.4.20 for i386 uses syscalls up to 252. I want to add about a
    half-dozen new syscalls (forward porting stuff that we've got on 2.4.18).

    Does x86 support syscall numbers > 255? If yes, do I have to do
    anything special to use them? If not, what are my options?

    Thanks,

    Chris
