I sent an equivalent patch in earlier today:

Index: linux-2.6/arch/x86_64/ia32/ptrace32.c

I change the request so that PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS doesn't need to
propogate any further.  However, it is present in include/asm-x86_64,
so I guess that counts as being part of the x86_64 ABI.  That being
the case, I guess my patch can be dropped in favor of this one.
