I imported these additional patches from you:

e0d17576790e quota: simplify the quotactl compat handling
b0f8a0c4046f compat: add a compat_need_64bit_alignment_fixup() helper
ed8af9335e19 compat: lift compat_s64 and compat_u64 to <asm-generic/compat.h>
ce526c75bbe2 uaccess: provide a generic TASK_SIZE_MAX definition

I think I only actually needed the last one of those for the Arm
patches, the other ones are dependencies for my other patches
I have on the same branch.
