Linus, please apply, unless someone has plans for this field.
Noone seems to use __syscall_count. Remove the field from i386
irq_cpustat_t struct, and the generic accessor macros.
Because some archs have hardcoded asm references to offsets in this
structure, I haven't touched non-x86, but doing so is usually
trivial.

The __syscall_count field was added around 2.4.0-test5-pre6 for
performance monitoring and detection of runaway processes. For reasons
that have long since passed beyond recall, the asm specific bits never
got added. This was the original patch.
