Arch support changes in 2.0.4

Hello,

I am working on a 2.0.4 release. In this release I have added user space 
support for the ARM EABI  processor. But I got to thinking that this increases 
the syscall lookup table even more. So, what I decided to do is make the less 
"main line" architectures enabled by configure options so that it can be added 
if needed.

This means that in 2.0.4, if you wanted alpha processor support, you would run 
configure using "--with-alpha". To add ARM EABI support, you would use "--with-
armeb". This is in svn now if anyone wanted to play with it.

Now if we could just get a kernel patch in syscall_trace:

http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.31/arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c#L844

to steer it into audit_syscall_entry....
