[PATCH 0/5] all: s390: make compat wrappers the generic solution

The problem that makes us use wrappers is that some compat
architectures allows user code to access top halves of registers.
This is not a problem for syscalls that are already handled by compat
code, or for that who has types of the same size in kernel and
userspace. In case of s390 and lp64/ilp32 the problem is in pointer
types, long, unsigned long. 

S390 folks already have the solution for it. In this patchset,
it is turned to be general, as arm64/ilp32 needs it too.

This patchset is created as the part of the work of enabling arm64
with ILP32 user mode. See details here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2126946

Build-tested on s390.

Yury Norov (5):
  all: s390: move wrapper infrastructure to generic headers
  all: declare new wrappers
  all: s390: redefine wrappers in generic code
  all: non-obvious wrappers
  introduce COMPAT_WRAPPER option and enable it for S390
