If 'uname -i' reports i686, that usually means you have configured the
kernel for 32-bit. Try rebuilding the kernel with 'CONFIG_64BIT' and
'CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION' enabled to test that the 32-bit user space now
also works under a 64-bit kernel.

That reminds me, we should now remove the code from fs/compat_ioctl.c
that was handling emulating the other ioctl commands, the new .compat_ioctl
callback in ppdev takes care of that along with the PPGETTIME/PPSETTIME
calls, see below
