For Chrome/Steam it absolutely must look like this for "XP" mode (from
my patch, you can clearly use your offset trick and have
KiFastSystemCall do the lookup):
    output( "\tmovl $%s, %%eax\n", syscall_name(odp->name) );
    output( "\tmovl $%s, %%edx\n", asm_name("KiFastSystemCall") );
    output( "\tcall *%%edx\n" );
    output( "\tret $%d\n", args * get_ptr_size() );
    output( "\tnop\n" );

It also must handle other modes like Win8 (see
https://github.com/adobe/chromium/blob/master/sandbox/src/service_resolver_32.cc),
for example in XP WoW64 mode:
    output( "\tmovl $%s, %%eax\n", syscall_name(odp->name) );
    output( "\t.byte 0x33\n\t.byte 0xc9\n" ); /* xor %ecx, ecx */
    output( "\tleal 4(%%esp), %%edx\n" );
    output( "\tcall *%%fs:0xc0\n" ); /* X86SwitchTo64BitMode */
    output( "\tret $%d\n", args * get_ptr_size() );
    output( "\tnop\n" );
Note: %fs:0xc0 must be initialized to X86SwitchTo64BitMode _very_
early (server_init_thread is a good place).

So, I think we need to output several wrappers and have a "redirector"
thunk for our own internal use (example):
    output( "\tmovl %s, %%eax\n", asm_name("is_wow64") );
    output( "\tcmpl $1, %%eax\n" );
    output( "\tje %s%s%s\n", asm_name(""), "__syscall_xp_wow64_", odp->name );
    output( "\tjmp %s%s%s\n", asm_name(""), "__syscall_xp_", odp->name );

Then, similar to how we do relays, we need to pick the appropriate
table based on the selected OS version and WoW64 status and expose
that to apps.  Most of this idea is in my patch 6
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/195059/wine/ntdll-Syscall_Wrappers/0006-winebuild-Add-support-for-x86-32-XP-WoW64-system-cal.patch),
which I have tested with Steam pretty extensively.  However, I cannot
get the WoW64 version to "work" because of the 64-bit "webhelper" crap
- for some reason it cannot read the 64-bit ntdll memory.

Best,
Erich
