Re: [parisc-linux] [PATCH] Add key management syscalls to non-i386 archs

Um, no.  Should be ENTRY_COMP() if there's compat syscalls.
Not all archs (of which PA-Risc is an example) seem to require the same fixups
on the same syscalls. In some instances, the upper half of the register is
implicitly zero on 32-bit syscall entry to a 64-bit kernel. In such cases,
none of my syscalls require fixing up, assuming the pointers are automatically
correct.
And those particular syscall numbers have already been assigned (blame Linus
for dropping the PA-RISC patch on the floor instead of including it in
2.6.9).
There's not a lot I can do about that, except wave a patch under Linus's nose
and see who complains. Can you allocate three syscall numbers for me for
parisc?
