How's this one :-)
I don't think this is the way to go.
I think we really need to give the 32-bit compatability types names and allow 64-bit arches to define what their 32-bit counterparts use.
For example, nlink_t is going to need to be different for sparc 32-bit compat vs. most other platforms because we use a signed short there.
Linus what is you big beef with the names used before, the "__kernel" part of the name? We can't just use "u32" for ino_t althroughout the compat32 code or whatever your idea seems to be.
