It's a total of 15 functions (I generated this list by building an alpha 
GENERIC kernel with COMPAT_OSF1 removed):

         osf1_sys_wait4
         osf1_sys_mount
         osf1_sys_set_program_attributes
         osf1_sys_setitimer
         osf1_sys_select
         osf1_sys_gettimeofday
         osf1_sys_getrusage
         osf1_sys_settimeofday
         osf1_sys_utimes
         osf1_sys_statfs
         osf1_sys_fstatfs
         osf1_sys_sysinfo
         osf1_sys_usleep_thread
         osf1_sys_getsysinfo
         osf1_sys_setsysinfo

All of these are references from linux_sysent.o
