To get sendfile working on sparc64 under 32bit emulation, I need to
call sys_sendfile already with set_fs(KERNEL_DS), but sendfile then comes
back into USER_DS. Can you apply the following simple patch?
It is done in the way as it is done in most places in the kernel. If
you don't accept it, we'd have to copy the whole sys_sendfile code into
sys_sparc32.c and edit it there, and duplicating of code is usually bad.
Below the patch is code which depends on this patch.
Thanks.
