Linus, could you apply this patch?

OTOH, breaking mplayer on x86_32 is probably the way to push 64-bit as
the driving factor in adoption of new technology seems to be porn.

31a985f "ipc: use __ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION in ipc/util.h" would
choose the implementation of ipc_parse_version() based on a symbol
defined in <asm/unistd.h>.

But it failed to also include this header and thus broke
IPC_64-passing 32-bit userspace because the flag wasn't masked out
properly anymore and the command not understood.

Include <linux/unistd.h> to give the architecture a chance to ask for
the no-no-op ipc_parse_version().
