- Is expected to have a x32 ABI implementation as well? In the case of

  waitv (aka wait on multiple futexes) we would need a proper x32 entry
  since we are dealing with 32bit pointers.
x32 should be able to use the same i386 compat systcall entry.   Will it be
problem?
Indeed, you are right. In the last iteration of this work, I had some
problems dealing with x32 ABI, but this new interface doesn't have the
same problem anymore. We can use the same sys_waitv_time64 interface for
both i368 and x32.
