How's this one :-)
I don't think this is the way to go.
I think we really need to give the 32-bit compatability
types names and allow 64-bit arches to define what their
32-bit counterparts use.
For example, nlink_t is going to need to be different
for sparc 32-bit compat vs. most other platforms because
we use a signed short there.
Linus what is you big beef with the names used before, the "__kernel"
part of the name? We can't just use "u32" for ino_t althroughout the
compat32 code or whatever your idea seems to be.
Please clarify.
