Sorry, I forgot to mention this one on my previous email.

Compat32 handling is just:

        switch (cmd) {
       	case MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_LINKS32:
               	mutex_lock(&dev->graph_mutex);
                ret = media_device_enum_links32(dev,
                                (struct media_links_enum32 __user *)arg);
               	mutex_unlock(&dev->graph_mutex);
                break;

        default:
                return media_device_ioctl(filp, cmd, arg);
        }

and media_device_enum_links32() doesn't call an function with a
mutex. So, it is safe.

Thanks,
Mauro
