Hi Catalin, thanks for review.

in patch 20 COMPAT becomes depending also on ARM64_ILP32, like this:
-       depends on AARCH32_EL0
+       depends on AARCH32_EL0 || ARM64_ILP32

So this is a preparation for it. If it looks confusing, I think it's
better to underline it in the description to the patch in addition to
this:

> From now, AARCH32_EL0 (former COMPAT) config option means the support of

But if you prefer, I can do like you suggested here and make COMPAT
depend on AARCH32_EL0 in the last patch.

I think it's rebase issue. I'll fix it.
