Actually I think the syscall error is because of strace on ARM, not because
of vcmd.
root@a780:/work/test# ./vcmd
wenbin print: num_cmd = 0, num_id = 0
Illegal instruction

root@a780:/work/test# strace -fF -o vcmd.trace ./vcmd
syscall: unknown syscall trap 0xef000139

"unknow syscall" should be a strace bug, I think. The basic failure is
becuase of "illegal instruction" during vserver(num_cmd, num_id, data)
syscall.

Thanks,
Wenbin
