I'm not sure what you want to do here. Use a debugger for
disassembly. But what do you really want to do? And what do you mean
by 'syscall'? The userland stub function, the interface, or the
kernel code which implements the call? In any case, since we have the
source code to all of it, it's not clear that there's much to be
gained by disassembling them.
