size_t should be unsigned long in ilp32 so a 32bit unsigned integer type. That part of the abi was already defined in the arm abi documents. Now are saying we should pass size_t different between user and kernel space?

See above. Size_t is 32bits.

See above. Size_t is 32bits.

See above about size_t.

I will look into this one but it might already be taken care of due to the compact uses 64bit time spec define. I will add a comment saying that if it is true.

See above for my size_t question.

NFS structure, I can expand out the comment if needed.

Yes for big endian. If we were only supporting little endian, bit fields would not matter.

Let me look at why I did this one, I think the code which used aio was not in glibc which is why I used the compat version.
