syscall.h vs unistd.h

Hello,

When I look at my bits/syscall.h file, I see the following define :
#define SYS_eventfd __NR_eventfd

However, there is no mention of eventfd in unistd.h.

What does this mean? I was trying to see if eventfd call is available to my system since I read about it and want to use it in one of my programs.
Does this mean that it is not yet available to me?

Thanks

EDIT:
Sorry, I see that I should be looking in asm/unistd.h. It does have a setup for eventfd.
