I don't think it makes a big difference whether we change it now or later,
but if Christoph feels that it addresses his concern about the compat_
namespace being reused during the transition, doing it earlier would
enable us to finish the remaining syscalls.

Yes, I've been looking at your new series and the reuse of compat_*
is really confusing

Ok, let's do that then. Do you think it's sufficient to change it on top
of the existing patch series? While I can rebase everything on top of
the rename, the header file dependencies are a bit tricky and adding
a patch at the end would make it easier to ensure that I don't
introduce any bisection issues.
