I agree that this test will pass if we change the declaration of count to

Again the compat layer is only supposed to be as good as a native 32bit
kernel. You try to make it better by allowing values that a 32bit
kernel wouldn't allow. But that's not its goal - it just wants to be
as compatible as possible.
Absolutely not, this is not what I'm trying to do at all! My change will
not make it accept values that the native 32 bit kernel won't accept - I
had a very detailed description of why in my last mail.
The goal isn't to be clear, the goal is to be compatible.
Please stop continue arguing about this - it's useless.
Fine, you're the maintainer.
