Hi all,

currently we deal with the slight differents in the various architecture
variants of the flock and flock64 stuctures in a very cruft way.  This
series switches to just use small arch hooks and define the rest in
asm-generic and linux/compat.h instead.
Nice cleanup. I can merge it through the asm-generic tree if you like,
though it's a little late just ahead of the merge window.

I would not want to change the compat_loff_t definition to compat_s64
to avoid the padding at this time, though that might be a useful cleanup
for a future cycle.
