Wouldn't that mean that now 32-bit containers behave differently
between compat and native execution?

I think if you want to prevent 32-bit applications from using SQPOLL,
it needs to be done the same way on both to be consistent:

   if ((!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_64BIT) || ctx->compat) &&
        (p->flags & IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL))
            goto err;

I don't really see how taking away SQPOLL from 32-bit tasks is
any better than just preventing access to the known-broken files
as Al suggested, or adding the hack to make it work as in
Christoph's original patch.

Can we expect all existing and future user space to have a sane
fallback when IORING_SETUP_SQPOLL fails?
