Btw., I'm not _entirely_ happy about the 'IA32' name, but went with this name for 
lack of a better alternative.

So we have 4 system call modes:

 - 64-bit native
 - 32-bit addresses with 64-bit arguments (x32)
 - 32-bit compat syscall (x86-32 compatibility on x86-64)
 - 32-bit native

and we have 2 bits of data that are per system call properties:

 - TS_COMPAT in thread_info->status is set/cleared dynamically by the compat 
   syscall entry code

 - a high bit in pt_regs->orig_ax tells us whether it's an x32 system call.

So I'd suggest the following renames to harmonize these concepts:

 - CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION   => CONFIG_X86_32_ABI
   this lines up nicely with: CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI

 - is_ia32_syscall() -> is_x86_32_syscall()
 - is_x32_syscall()  -> is_x86_x32_syscall()

 - is_compat_syscall() remains as-is.

... thoughts?

Thanks,
