I've looked at it again: if we do this, the function actually becomes
longer than
the native gfs2_ioctl(). Should we just make a full copy then?

static long gfs2_compat_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd,
unsigned long arg)
{
        switch(cmd) {
        case FS_IOC32_GETFLAGS:
                return gfs2_get_flags(filp, (u32 __user *)arg);
        case FS_IOC32_SETFLAGS:
                return gfs2_set_flags(filp, (u32 __user *)arg);
        case FITRIM:
                return gfs2_fitrim(filp, (void __user *)arg);
        case FS_IOC_GETFSLABEL:
                return gfs2_getlabel(filp, (char __user *)arg);
        }

        return -ENOTTY;
}

A later patch that removes the FITRIM handling from fs/compat_ioctl.c
depends on it, so I'd like to keep everything together.
