Ok.

Yes, I pointed that out in the cover letter as something that is still
left to be done. If we end up taking the current approach (plus the
change to the location of the conversion), the compat code would
basically be duplicated.

Alternatively, the video_usercopy() function could just be changed
to handle both 32-bit formats directly (including conversion of the
multiplane array) and then we can remove that compat handler for
all eight ioctls.
