	Looking at the pre-2.6.12 history, it's even more ridiculous.
compat_sys_getdents64() had been introduced for (and only ever needed by)
biarch support on itanic.  arm64 use of that thing is, AFAICS, not needed
at all and appeared when arm biarch support went in; looks like an oversight
when putting together a list of syscalls ("compat variant is there, probably
ought to use it for some reason", at a guess).
	Use in include/asm-generic/unistd.h appears to be a similar mistake
by tile folks.  amd64 one is definitely an accident - "[PATCH] x86_64: Use
compat readdir and aio functions" had converted old_readdir, getdents,
io_getevents and io_submit from amd64-specific wrappers to generic compat
variants and switched getdents64 to compat wrapper at the same time - from
native sys_getdents64.  Might've assumed that the lack of wrapper for that one
had been a bug...

	Let's at least remove compat_sys_getdents64()...  Linus, do you
have any problems with the following?

    Remove compat_sys_getdents64()
    
    Unlike normal compat syscall variants, it is needed only for
    biarch architectures that have different alignement requirements for
    u64 in 32bit and 64bit ABI *and* have __put_user() that won't handle
    a store of 64bit value at 32bit-aligned address.  We used to have one
    such (ia64), but its biarch support has been gone since 2010 (after
    being broken in 2008, which went unnoticed since nobody had been using
    it).
    
    It had escaped removal at the same time only because back in 2004
    a patch that switched several syscalls on amd64 from private wrappers to
    generic compat ones had switched to use of compat_sys_getdents64(), which
    hadn't needed (or used) a compat wrapper on amd64.
    
    Let's bury it - it's at least 7 years overdue.
