Subject: v4l & compat_ioctl

Hi,

wouldn't make sense to add v4l ioctls to ioctl_start (fs/compat_ioctl.c) table 
to allow i386 stuff such as skype to run video on x86_64? The ioctl structures 
seem to be pretty aliasable, so even no special handler wouldn't be neded...

Otherwise people are getting crap like this:
ioctl32(skype:29183): Unknown cmd fd(13) cmd(80685600){t:'V';sz:104} 
arg(f6571054) on /dev/video0
