The most reasonable definition to me seems to call things that have very
thin wrapper in glibc or are called by syscall() to be syscall testcases
and the rest, even when they end up calling particular syscall to be
libc tests. But that is still wrong as any other simple definition.

The other simple and wrong option is to move everything that is
implemented purely in userspace to testcases/libc/.

Or we can stop pretending that there is a clear line between kernel and
libc and rename the syscalls to something else. The question is what
should be the new name, I do not have a good idea for that.
