>Description:
compat_aout includes a bunch of aout_sys_foo() calls which,
due to the changes in revision 1.3 of aout_misc.c, just call the
equivalent sys_foo() without any change. this could be fixed in the
compat/aout syscalls.master and the passthrough stubs eliminated.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
It appears that unnecessarily split syscalls include:
aout_sys_create
aout_sys_mknod
aout_sys_mount
aout_sys_ktrace
aout_sys_acct
aout_sys_mkfifo
aout_sys_mkdir
aout_sys_quotactl
