syscalls using the Linux kernel's explicit facilities for tracing
creation of threads and child processes.
* Implemented CLONE_PARENT and CLONE_UNTRACED flags handling.
* Implemented decoding of TLS syscalls on m68k.
* Implemented biarch support on powerpc64.
* Implemented biarch support for getrlimit() and setrlimit().

* Implemented SOL_SCTP socket options decoding.
* Added HDIO_* ioctl names.
(Addresses Debian bug #450953).
* Added LOOP_* ioctl names.
* Updated lists of CLOCK_*, CLONE_*, MS_*, and SOL_* constants
to match Linux 2.6.37.
* Updated the list of IPPROTO_* constants to match netinet/in.h.
* Implemented decoding of HDIO_* and BLK* ioctls.
* Added MicroBlaze architecture support.
* Added new syscall entries to match Linux 2.6.37.
* Regenerated list of ioctl names from Linux 2.6.37.
