This all looks really good, but I would change one detail:

> +#ifndef compat_arg_u64
> +#define compat_arg_u64(name)           u32  name##_lo, u32  name##_hi
> +#define compat_arg_u64_dual(name)      u32, name##_lo, u32, name##_hi
> +#define compat_arg_u64_glue(name)      (((u64)name##_hi << 32) | \
> +                                        ((u64)name##_lo & 0xffffffffUL))
> +#endif

I would make these endian-specific, and reverse them on big-endian
architectures. That way it
should be possible to share them across all compat architectures
without needing the override
option.
