the system calls that are not currently in the name space are those that do
not distribute
(and there have been a few things in the name space that don't distribute
and are troublesome).

segbrk doesn't distribute. rfork doesn't distribute. you can have a control
request in a name space that operates on another process,
or creates another process, but that's not a system call by the calling
process: it's a request to another process for it to do something
(possibly in the kernel domain, if there is one).
