With big endian userspace, we can't quite figure out if a pointer
is 32 bit (shifted>>  32) or 64 bit when we read a 64 bit pointer.

This is what happens with dirty logging. To get the pointer interpreted
correctly, we thus need Arnd's patch to implement a compat layer for
the ioctl:

A better way to do this is to add a separate compat_ioctl() method that
converts this for you.

If you send someone's patch, you need to sign this off. That says you are legally allowed to send it along.

Ack means "I have a say in this area and it looks good to me", you add it when someone else is doing the sending.

Ok, so is it still a From: Arnd then? Is it still signed-off by Arnd even though I change it?

Is there a Based-on-patch-by: tag? :-)
