The original patch had

	personality &= ~PER_LINUX | PER_LINUX32;

Which is bogus, exactly because ~PER_LINUX is -1.

I then used

	personality = (personality & ~PER_MASK) | PER_LINUX32;

which is correct and perhaps a little bit more descriptive, and that is 
what you have merged, so all is fine.

Probably just missed that the first patch used PER_LINUX and the second 
one PER_MASK, or whatever.

Anyway, thanks.
