Hello,

This patch series includes some fixes to the compat IPC code when the
compat and native targets have API differences that weren't previously
considered. The problems were found during development of the AArch64
port and, as such, are prerequisities for the merging of that code.

All feedback and comments welcome (but please resist the urge to talk
about the name -- there's another thread for that on LKML :).

Will
