It's a pretty ugly name, quite frankly, since it doesn't explain what it is a gate from or to. linux-syscall.so.1 or linux-kernel.so.1 would make a lot more sense.

It's not really correct. The DSO can be used for up-calls (e.g., signal trampolines), too.
Like I said, I can _live_ with "syscall", but would prefer "gate", because it's technically more accurate. It's also shorter, always a bonus... ;-)
