Re: [PATCH v2 13/29] arch: add split IPC system calls where needed

The IPC system call handling is highly inconsistent across architectures,
some use sys_ipc, some use separate calls, and some use both.  We also
have some architectures that require passing IPC_64 in the flags, and
others that set it implicitly.

For the additon of a y2083 safe semtimedop() system call, I chose to only
support the separate entry points, but that requires first supporting
the regular ones with their own syscall numbers.

The IPC_64 is now implied by the new semctl/shmctl/msgctl system
calls even on the architectures that require passing it with the ipc()
multiplexer.

I'm not adding the new semtimedop() or semop() on 32-bit architectures,
those will get implemented using the new semtimedop_time64() version
that gets added along with the other time64 calls.
Three 64-bit architectures (powerpc, s390 and sparc) get semtimedop().
