I can live with that (and drop the local quota-related stuff from
copy_in_user/compat_alloc_user_space elimination series).  One question,
though:

do we have any need of that put_user()?  Note that you don't even call
that thing unless compat_need_64bit_alignment_fixup() is true.  And AFAICS
all such cases are little-endian...
