Alright, sounds good.

Yes, but I think that would require introducing compat_sys_read() and
touching all architectures.

One other thing I just thought about -- the things you were mentioning
wrt. u64 alignment, is that relevant for sendmsg() as well? This doesn't
cover that at all, so far, obviously. If that would be needed, we'd also
need more work there, we can of course do that as we go along and add
code to deal with just the kernel->userspace messages where necessary.
