Yeah, that would make sense -- thanks for spotting.

Looking at this more closely, I also wonder if we need a pair of wrappers
analogous to sys(32|64)_execve -- they include a (pipeline-executed)
flushw instruction after the jmpl to [compat_]sys_execve, which I guess
might be needed.  So I could add something like the following to
arch/sparc/kernel/syscalls.S:

  sys64_execveat:
      set sys_execveat, %g1
      jmpl %g1, %g0
      flushw
  #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
  sys32_execveat:
      set compat_sys_execveat, %g1
      jmpl %g1, %g0
      flushw
  #endif

However, I don't speak SPARC and can't run the code -- any thoughts
out there from someone who does & can?

Or maybe I should stop trying to be helpful with speculative patches, and
just leave wiring up the sparc stuff to the experts...
