Unfortunately, this won't compile on CONFIG_X86_32 because
__NR_ia32_restart_syscall is defined for CONFIG_X86_64 only.

Something like this should work:

static inline unsigned long get_nr_restart_syscall(const struct pt_regs *regs)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
	if (is_ia32_task())
		return __NR_ia32_restart_syscall;
# ifdef CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI
	if (regs->orig_ax & __X32_SYSCALL_BIT)
		return __NR_restart_syscall | __X32_SYSCALL_BIT;
# endif
#endif
	return __NR_restart_syscall;
}

I don't see any way to avoid ifdefs here, sorry.
