This regeset is intended to be used to get and set a system call number
while tracing.
There was some discussion about possible approaches to do so:

(1) modify x8 register with ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGSET) indirectly,
    and update regs->syscallno later on in syscall_trace_enter(), or
(2) define a dedicated regset for this purpose as on s390, or
(3) support ptrace(PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL) as on arch/arm

Thinking of the fact that user_pt_regs doesn't expose 'syscallno' to
tracer as well as that secure_computing() expects a changed syscall number,
especially case of -1, to be visible before this function returns in
syscall_trace_enter(), (1) doesn't work well.
We will take (2) since it looks much cleaner.

Right. I will fix it.
Do you prefer to use s32, instead of int, like other regsets?

Yeah, definitely.
