The i8k driver is still b0rked for COMPAT use in linux-3.2.xx,
and I don't think my patch got picked up by anyone for 3.3 yet:
(unmangled copy attached -- copy below is for viewing only)
-----snip-----
Fix the i8k (Dell Laptop) driver so that its misdefined ioctl's
work with existing 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel.
Without this patch, 32-bit binaries get EINVAL from most ioctls,
due to incompatible ioctl numbering and lack of a compat_ioctl() function.
The problem is that the ioctls were originally defined using _IOR/_IOW
macros, but the code is written assuming simpler _IO macros. Ugh.
Too late to re-do all of that -- would break existing userspace.
So just fix things up so they work again.
This has been tested with existing pre-compiled binaries (i8kctl)
on both a pure 32-bit system and a 64/32 system.
