Syscall intrinsic
Reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/220ae4/libc_considered_harmful/
Mentions there are some nice things that can be done with a syscall intrinsic. Also, marginally increased speed for calling syscalls since it doesn't need to go through libffi into C-land.
Should be easy to implement. llvm backend has llvm.syscall
already.
