I'll look at it and correct it. Thanks for the hints.

This are maybe errors. The naming convention of 'F', 'P' and 'S' is not 
clear or a little bad. But there for sync there exist two versions, one 
that operate on a filedescriptor and one that sync all filesystems (that's 
why an Ffsync()).

Btw. it's my intention to use the sycalls.master to generate the syscall 
table (that is still hand written and updated).
