old_select vs sys_select

On the VAX port I'm updating my syscalls to match some of the other
platforms,

why do some platforms defined old_select and some just use sys_ni_syscall
for the system call number for the old_select... is this purely to deal
with old applications that were compiled against old kernels, and so this
means I don't have to implement old_select on the VAX at all..

Dave.
