Why do you think this is necessary?
simple_strtoul() is part of the generic library (implemented in
lib_generic/vsprintf.c). Any standalone application that needs this
function can simply link against this library, so I don;t see the
benefit from calling this through the syscall interface.
Maybe I'm missing something?
