Actually, syscall.* is the proper name - just like our many other
aliases that don't bother with a prefix (e.g., LKET, I/O, signals,
....)  Any instances of kernel.syscall that still remain constitute
unfinished work from an old bug.  However, a brief grep shows that in
fact no such instances still remain in CVS, except in one man page
where it was used for syntactic illustration only.
