We were kinda following the already-existing convention in the source
base, but I could go either way. e.g. kern_bind() instead of bind1().
Definite not _syscall_bind() (ick). But before we make that sort of
change I will commit the linux patch using the current naming convention.

Deal! If I get some time in the next two weeks, I will convert as many syscalls as I can into the split system, and then collectively change their name from blah1() to kern_blah().
