Subject: [2.6.34 regression] utsname.domainname not set in x86_32 processes

2.6.34-rc4 uname(2) from a x86_32 process copies out 325 bytes rather
than the 390 bytes that 2.6.31 copied out (and that userland expects):

2.6.31.12% cat foo.c
main()
{
	char buf[1000];
	memset(buf, 'x', sizeof(buf));
	uname(buf);
	write(1, buf, sizeof(buf));
	return 0;
}
2.6.31.12% i686-linux-gcc foo.c
