  I wonder, if OABI-compat is known to actually work on OABI userspace,
I mean, on something real, like xserver-kdrive ;-). Because I'd really
like to build single kernel for both old and new userspace too, but
afraid to try that, fearing to be put down by another broken feature
;-).

I've used OABI-compat + EABI ARM kernels to routinely switch between
OABI and EABI rootfs boots. There were some minor busybox issues
on the OABI-compat side (w.r.t. syscalls), but nothing major. These
were fairly complex applications, so "it should work" (and IIRC the
patches were publicly available). But I'm sure I'm forgetting some
significant detail and can't go check right now.
