alternative compat_ioctl table implementation

Opinions?
Rather ugly. In my experience all vmlinux.lds hacks are very fragile and they break when you just look at them in the wrong way. Also when something goes wrong they are a bitch to debug. And binutils is not exactly known for not introducing bugs with new releases.
Can't you work around that gcc 2.95 bug in some other way ?

Ok.

Yes. I noticed now that only the x86_64 code (from which I copied) contains the assembly version that breaks on cross-compile and the sparc64 version works fine.
