Unfortunately we will never get netfilter-specific code into the
sys_sparc32.c file (and we also really don't want it to be there).
Is there no solution which only touches iptables userspace and kernel
code? (net/ipv4/netfilter/* as well as libiptc.c in userspace)?
It is the only way to translate socket options that include user
pointers or other types that are not identical in the 32-bit
and 64-bit environment.
It is always a bad idea to pass pointers and other non-hardcoded
types (ie. something other than u8, u16 etc.) via APIs.
