2b1c6bd77d generic compat_sys_ustat
Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but
currently only x86 and mips provide one.  Add a generic compat_sys_ustat
and switch all architectures over to it.  Instead of doing various
user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as
it's trivial.  This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann.

Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes
stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of
data writen by the syscall.

This way it matches the generic system call name convention.

d6c93adbeb powerpc: Use sys_pause for 32-bit pause entry point
sys32_pause is a useless copy of the generic sys_pause.

50d0b17645 powerpc: Use generic compat_sys_old_readdir
Use the generic compat_sys_old_readdir instead of the powerpc one which
is almost the same except for the almost complete lack of error
handling.

Note that we can't just use SYSCALL() in systbl.h because the native
syscall is named old_readdir, not sys_old_readdir.

b8b572e101 powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm
from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
