That's a good idea, but please be careful when adding macro definitions,
we're in code that is used by user space we have no control on, and we're
polluting the end user's macro namespace with plenty of names. While one
could argue that it's unlikely that some program already defines and uses
SYSCALL_CLOBBERLIST, actually with low-level code it's fairly possible.

Till now most of the definitions were for stuff that user-space really
needs (e.g. STDIN_FILENO, various integer limits). If we start to declare
random macros for internal use, at least we should probably prefix them
with _NOLIBC_ or something like this to avoid the risk of collision.

Ok, _NOLIBC_ prefix will be applied, Thanks.
