This cleans up some of the socket ioctl handling by moving it from fs/compat_ioctl.c to net/socket.c. The code is still untested, so this is an RFC for now. If you're happy with it, I'll do some testing to see if everything still works.
This series is a prerequisite for cleaning up the rest of compat_ioctl.c, saving some 30kb of kernel memory in the end.
The first four patches are probably worthwhile independently, because they fix some bugs in compat_ioctl handling. There is some obvious conflict with the ATM patch I sent independently today. That one should probably be worked out first.
