BTW, in related area: take a look at syscall_get_arguments().  AFAICS,
it's rather odd -
#ifdef CONFIG_SPARC64
        if (test_tsk_thread_flag(task, TIF_32BIT))
                zero_extend = 1;
#endif
bit looks dubious.  What happens when 32bit task makes a 64bit syscall?
Do we really want to drop upper 32 bits of all arguments in the copy we
are building?
