*UGH*

static inline compat_to_u64(u32 w0, u32 w1)
{
#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN
	return ((u64)w0 << 32) | w1;
#else
	return ((u64)w1 << 32) | w0;
#endif
}

in compat.h, then this turns into

#ifdef __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_WITH_PADDING
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE5(readahead, int, fd, unsigned int, padding,
		       u32, off0, u32 off1,
		       compat_size_t, count)
#else
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE4(readahead, int, fd,
		       u32, off0, u32 off1,
		       compat_size_t, count)
#endif
{
	return do_readahead(fd, compat_to_u64(off0, off1), count);
}
