BTW, right now vfs.git#for-linus contains minimal compat_ioctl patches; unless
you want those in right now, I'm holding them back until Monday.  It's
two patches Jann has posted (with trivial fix in the first one folded in) +
not passing fd around where it's not needed (basically, those calls of
do_ioctl() in there are guaranteed to go into vfs_ioctl() - the paths in
do_vfs_ioctl() that care about the descriptor numbers are not reachable
with the arguments do_ioctl() is getting).

If for some reason you want those in before -final - yell and I'll send
a pull request, otherwise they'll be in one of the first pull requests
on Monday.
