- We might as well do the same ifdef-avoidery trick around compat_ioctl()
  too.  That required that it be renamed.

- It is fishy that apart from one outlier in kexec.h, synclink.h is the
  only header file which uses compat_ulong_t.  Are we doing this right?

Arnd, do you have any comment on this?

It seems like the compatible types should be available
in something that is already commonly used like linux/types.h

I'm fine with it either way. I'm not in
a position to be making those kinds of decisions
for widely used infrastructure, so I'll leave
that for someone further up the food chain.
