Ah.. right, my bad.  I somehow thought dotraplinkage is asmlinkage on
x86_32.  Yeah, the original code was fine in that area, but then again
most other trap functions take struct pt_regs.  Anyways, you're gonna
post patches to convert trap functions to take pointer to pt_regs,
right?  Can you please fix this one up together with those?

Thanks.
