You should generally try to avoid structures with implicit padding
like this one.

I would split out the syscall table changes from the implementation, but then
do the table changes for all architectures, at least when you get to a version
that gets close to being accepted.

It would be nice to reduce the duplication a little. compat_sys_futex_waitv()
and sys_futex_waitv() only differ by a single line, in which they call
a different
parse function, and the two parse functions only differ in the layout of the
user space structure. The get_timespec64() call already has an
in_compat_syscall() check in it, so I would suggest having a single entry
point for native and compat mode, but either having the parse function
add another such check or making the structure layout compatible.
The normal way of doing this is to have a __u64 value instead of the pointer,
and then using u64_to_uptr() for the conversion. It might be nice to
add a global
typedef __u64 __kernel_uptr_t;
for this purpose.
