Ok. I now noticed there are some more problems that I did not see
at first:

huh?

These should better be expressed with compat_uptr_t, compat_ulong_t etc.

You don't need to cast to a pointer when using compat_ptr.

Has anyone solved the register_ioctl32_conversion() from module problem
yet? The patch will break if you build scsi as a module because you
never unregister the conversion helper on unload.
Even if you do the unregister from a module_exit() function, there
will still be a small race against running ioctl handlers. I suppose
we have to add an 'owner' field to struct ioctl_trans in order to
get it right.

see above.

you need compat_ptr() for iomem_base as well
