I had previously sent a fix for this to the ext4 list as well, although
w/o the added case for compat_ioctl or the extra #include.

Because this ioctl should be 100% compat everywhere, I don't -think-
it's needed, and

suffices....

Well, whichever of the two works best for the maintainers.

We need *something* for it upstream, and probably back in -stable too.
Otherwise this prevents using 64-bit kernels on 32-bit userland,
as Linus likes to recommend so often. ;)
