I think we could do without the smartarse comments, frankly. It took about
two weeks and 1000000000 emails for you guys to sort out the fallocate()
ABI. How would you like "it would be nice if maintainers of oddball
architectures would pay attention"?

versus
+asmlinkage long compat_sys_fallocate(int fd, int mode, u32 offhi, u32 offlo,
+ u32 lenhi, u32 lenlo)
+{
+ return sys_fallocate(fd, mode, ((loff_t)offhi << 32) | offlo,

the naming, the implementation and the types are all inconsistent. Can we
pick one style and stick to it?
