Subject: [RFC, PATCH 0/7] net, compat_ioctl: move handlers to net/socket.c

This cleans up some of the socket ioctl handling by moving it
from fs/compat_ioctl.c to net/socket.c. The code is still untested,
so this is an RFC for now. If you're happy with it, I'll do some
testing to see if everything still works.

This series is a prerequisite for cleaning up the rest of
compat_ioctl.c, saving some 30kb of kernel memory in the end.

The first four patches are probably worthwhile independently,
because they fix some bugs in compat_ioctl handling.
There is some obvious conflict with the ATM patch I sent
independently today. That one should probably be worked out
first.

Arnd Bergmann (7):
  compat: add struct compat_ifreq etc to compat.h
  net/tun: handle compat_ioctl directly
  net, compat_ioctl: handle socket ioctl abuses in tty drivers
  appletalk: handle SIOCATALKDIFADDR compat ioctl
  copy socket ioctl code to net/socket.h
  compat: move sockios handling to net/socket.c
  net, compat_ioctl: handle more ioctls correctly
