ok, the changes look good.

I think the s390 version is trivial to add as well, like

SYSCALL_DEFINE5(s390_ipc, uint, call, int, first, unsigned long, second,
 		unsigned long, third, void __user *, ptr)
{
	if (call == SEMTIMEDOP)
		return sys_semtimedop(first, (struct sembuf __user *)ptr,
				      (unsigned) second,
				      (const struct timespec __user *)third);

	return sys_ipc(call & 0xffff, first, second, third, ptr, 0);
}

But while going over the code again, I noticed that you broke sign extension
at least on powerpc and s390, possibly on all 64 bit machines:

This is needed to make sure the upper half of the register is filled with
zero-extended or sign-extended correctly and does not contain random garbage
in the native 64 bit case. IIRC, x86_64 does not have this problem and mips64
may have the wrong code already. Alpha, parisc and ia64 don't have a native
sys_ipc and the rest are 32 bit, so they don't care.
