I went over all syscalls and I found I didn't cover all, but these are 
still missing:
* syscall_device_writev_request
* syscall_device_write_request
* syscall_thread_depress_abort

I'm not sure whether they are used, but I'll convert them.

That is another cleanup I started to do, but not completed yet. It also 
requires to fix other cases at the same time, for example some functions 
seem to accept both a port name and a kernel port, and use the value as 
kernel port if the port name lookup failed. I think this will be a big 
patch with some smaller fixes like this.
