On a slightly related note: I also have a system with a 32bit userland
and a 64bit kernel.
After switching to the 64bit kernel, xfs_fsr was no longer working,
but that was caused by the then still missing compat ioctls.

Today I retried it, but it still fails:
XFS_IOC_SWAPEXT failed: ino=<number>: Invalid argument

Looking at the compat code SWAPEXT looks somewhat suspicious:

fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_ioctl32.h defines XFS_IOC_SWAPEXT_32, but I can't
find a single place where this is used.
And in the big switch of xfs_compat_ioctl() the value XFS_IOC_SWAPEXT
is surrounded by contants that all end in 32.

I don't have any experience with the linux ioctl code, I only read
fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_ioctl32.c, but for my untrained eye it looks like
there is a _32 missing.

Or am I misreading this completely?
