Hi all,

the i386 ABI is a little special in that it uses less than natural
alignment for 64-bit integer types (u64 and s64), and a significant
amount of our compat handlers deals with just that.  Unfortunately
there is no good way to check for this specific quirk at runtime,
similar how in_compat_syscall() checks for a compat syscall.  This
series adds such a check, and then uses the quota code as an example
of how this improves the compat handling.  I have a few other places
in mind where this will also be useful going forward.

Changes since v1:
 - use asm-generic/compat.h instead of linux/compat.h for
   compat_u64 and compat_s64
 - fix a typo

in mind where this will also be useful going forward.

Changes since v2:
 - drop the patch to use <linux/compat.h> in the arm64 headers

Changes since v1:
 - use asm-generic/compat.h instead of linux/compat.h for
   compat_u64 and compat_s64
 - fix a typo
