Oh. Duh. Sorry, I thought something else was going on since this seemed to be a "new" problem. There is an ancillary problem here, the offsets differ for a 32bit or 64bit kernel, and asm-offsets.h won't save you there. Keeping a private copy of struct pt_regs, and using offsetof() is probably the 'safest' way to deal with this.
