OK, I only built ppc64. I made this change and I'll re-post the patch.

What I've noticed on ppc64 is that __NR_sendfile is routed to
sys_sendfile64(). I'm changing this to sys_sendfile() as I don't see
why we need to carry the two almost identical functions around:

-SYSX_SPU(sys_sendfile64,compat_sys_sendfile,sys_sendfile)
+SYSX_SPU(sys_sendfile,compat_sys_sendfile_wrapper,sys_sendfile)
