I tried doing this before but couldn't figure out an easy way,
but the circumstances may have changed by now.
Back then, the basic problem was that CONFIG_UID16 had side-effects
that break the 64-bit versions of some syscalls. I don't see that
being the case any more, but from what I can tell, you still need
to add definitions for __kernel_old_uid_t etc on s390x.
If that does the trick, great work!
