If we use 64bit kernel on ia64/x86_64/s390 architecture, and we run
32bit binary on 32bit compatibility mode, sendfile system call seems be
not set offset argument.
This is because sendfile's return value is not zero but the code regards
the result by return value is zero or not.
This problem will be affect to ia64/x86_64/s390 and not affect to other
architecture does not affect other architecture (mips/parisc/ppc64/sparc64).

Delete obsolete stuff from arch Makefile
Rename file to asm-offsets.h
The trick used in the arch Makefile to circumvent the circular
dependency is kept.

64 bit architectures all implement their own compatibility sys_open(),
when in fact the difference is simply not forcing the O_LARGEFILE
flag. So use the a common function instead.

Removed IA64 architecture specific users of asm/segment.h
The removal of asm-ia64/segment.h itself can wait until all
of the kernel source has been purged of references.

This patch is based on work by Carlos O'Donell and Matthew Wilcox. It
introduces/updates the compat_time_t type and uses it for compat siginfo
structures. I have built this on ppc64 and x86_64.

This gets rid of an unused variable `error' in sys_ia32.c:sys32_epoll_wait()
Getting rid of this one makes parsing the output of the kernecomp
autobuild easier --- searching for `Error' to find a problem kept
hitting this one, even though it's only a warning.

These days <linux/ioctl32.h> handles everything, no need for an asm

Found by Alexander Nyberg, improved by Bjorn Helgaas.
- Fix the incorrect argument to sizeof()
- looks like memcpy() code pass was dervived from code that used
copy_from_user(). But in this case we are doing to kernel space
to kernel space copy, so memcpy is the right routine, but it
doesn't return an error code.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
