Re: size-differences of long(userspace) / long(kernel)

[Michael Tautschnig]

See arch/sparc64/kernel/ioctl32.c, we translate all of the
structures on the way in and out of userspace when 64-bit
kernel runs 32-bit applications.
Hmm - I don't really get the point - would you mind explaining a little?
Is it the following lines or did I overlook anything:
#define COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(cmd)   HANDLE_IOCTL((cmd),sys_ioctl)
#define HANDLE_IOCTL(cmd,handler) { (cmd), (ioctl32_handler_t)(handler), 
NULL },
#define IOCTL_TABLE_START \
  struct ioctl_trans ioctl_start[] = {
#define IOCTL_TABLE_END \
  };

and the following table generated using these defines?
Thanks,
Michael
