Hi,

Is it possible to cherry-pick the following upstream commit into the
stable kernel so it is available on the buildds?

commit 47b2c3fff4932e6fc17ce13d51a43c6969714e20

    security/keys: add CONFIG_KEYS_COMPAT to Kconfig

This commit moves KEYS_COMPAT to an architecture independent location
and enables it on all architectures where COMPAT is enabled. This should
allow 64-bit MIPS kernels to handle 32-bit applications using the keyctl
syscall (currently they fail with ENOSYS - see keyutils package). I
think this will also help with compiling armhf on arm64 kernels.

Thanks,
James
