MTIOCPOS and MTIOCGET are incompatible between 32-bit and 64-bit user space, and traditionally have been translated in fs/compat_ioctl.c. To get rid of that translation handler, move a corresponding implementation into each of the four drivers implementing those commands. The interesting part of that is now in a new linux/mtio.h header that wraps the existing uapi/linux/mtio.h header and provides an abstraction to let drivers handle both cases easily. Using an in_compat_syscall() check, the caller does not have to keep track of whether this was called through .unlocked_ioctl() or .compat_ioctl().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
