The wrapper that clears top halves of registers looks like this:

0000000000000068 <compat_SyS_mknod>:
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP3(mknod, const char __user *, filename, umode_t, mode, unsigned, dev);
68:   a9bf7bfd        stp     x29, x30, [sp,#-16]!
6c:   910003fd        mov     x29, sp
70:   2a0003e0        mov     w0, w0
74:   94000000        bl      0 <sys_mknod>
78:   a8c17bfd        ldp     x29, x30, [sp],#16
7c:   d65f03c0        ret

It looks quite nice overall. Unsafe pointer type is fixed with
"mov w0, w0", and safe types are untouched.
