The pending fix is:
#if defined(CONFIG_X86_64) && !defined(CONFIG_UML)

Since this check guards in_ia32_syscall() just checking CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION
should do too.

(Way outside my limited expertise, but anyway: is does look odd to see a call
to in_ia32_syscall() in drivers/. All other calls are in arch/x86/. Isn't this
a bit too x86 specific for an arch independent driver?)

Thanks,
