syscalls.2: Remove crufty text about i386 syscall dispatch table 

The removed text long ago ceased to be accurate. Nowadays, the
dispatch table is autogenerated when building the kernel (via
the kernel makefile, arch/x86/entry/syscalls/Makefile).

@ -887,8 +887,6 @@ with number __NR_xxx defined in
.I /usr/include/asm/unistd.h
can be found in the Linux kernel source in the routine
.IR sys_xxx ().
(The dispatch table for i386 can be found in
.IR /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S .)
There are many exceptions, however, mostly because
older system calls were superseded by newer ones,
and this has been treated somewhat unsystematically.
