Depends on what you mean by code saving - source code or binary size.
The former shouldn't be too much (a simple function with mostly auto-
generated body per translated (sub-)structure), the latter might be
significant (a recompiled version of any non-translated hypercall). Which
variant to use for sysctl and domctl I haven't even started to think about
yet.

But as said in the other mail - it would seem to me that overall it'd be
better to not have this construct.
