Both of these architectures require u64 function arguments to be passed in even/odd pairs of registers or stack slots, which in case of sync_file_range would result in a seven-argument system call that is not currently possible. The system call is therefore incompatible with all existing binaries. While it would be possible to implement support for seven arguments like on mips, it seems better to use a six-argument version, either with the normal argument order but misaligned as on most architectures or with the reordered sync_file_range2() calling conventions as on arm and powerpc.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
