Subject: improve compat handling for the i386 u64 alignment quirk
Hi all,
the i386 ABI is a little special in that it uses less than natural
alignment for 64-bit integer types (u64 and s64), and a significant
amount of our compat handlers deals with just that. Unfortunately
there is no good way to check for this specific quirk at runtime,
similar how in_compat_syscall() checks for a compat syscall. This
series adds such a check, and then uses the quota code as an example
of how this improves the compat handling. I have a few other places
in mind where this will also be useful going forward.
