This isn't quite right.

The comment about it remaining 12 is kind of misleading, it was true
when compat_sys_mmap2() called sys_mmap(), but it's wrong now that we're
calling do_mmap2().

The incoming "pgoff" here is in units of 4K.

do_mmap2() takes "off" in whatever units, but also takes "shift", which
has to tell us how to shift "off" into PAGE_SIZE units.

If we pass off = pgoff << 12, that's in bytes, so we need to page
shift = PAGE_SHIFT.

But I think it makes more sense to do the same as mmap2() and pass the
4K offset through, and pass shift = PAGE_SHIFT - 12. I also borrowed the
"off_4k" name from arm64. End result:

#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE6(mmap2,
		       unsigned long, addr, size_t, len,
		       unsigned long, prot, unsigned long, flags,
		       unsigned long, fd, unsigned long, off_4k)
{
	return do_mmap2(addr, len, prot, flags, fd, off_4k, PAGE_SHIFT-12);
}
#endif

With that my G5 boots again :)
