Yes - you write into /proc/PID/ctl to watch for system calls.

Back to the original topic, I think AIX is the not the first platform
that UML should be ported to; as far as UNIX goes it's pretty foul. I think
a nice, friendly platform like *BSD or Solaris is probably the best bet
to shake out all the Linux-isms.
