What good is the run-time BUG() here? Nothing should be calling these
when CONFIG_COMPAT is disabled, so I think you should just remove
the #ifdef around the declarations, and the entire #else case.

I guess it's time to move these two into common code. They look like they should
be shared across most architectures that have compat support.

Where did you get this from?

You should not need compat_sys_personality, just call the native function.
