We could cosmetically beautify it by moving the
actual implementation from sys_sparc32.c into some other source file
(maybe net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_sparc32.c?) and call it from sys_sparc32.c,
this however provides only a maintenance ease. I see that this is
an important aspect, too.
It isn't even a sparc specific issue, ppc64 mips64 et al. all have
to have a 32-bit translation layer for systemcalls, ioctls, etc.
They basically just copy the sparc64 code in 2.4.x
In 2.5.x we're trying to move this all over into a set of compat.c
files spread over the tree.
