Why is it a bad idea re-implement the few compat_xx functions used in

Move them into a common module required by all current consumers.
This module already exists, and it's modules/compat. The problem, again,
is that this module will register new syscalls, while we only want the
functions to be available. And it's more than that: if dynamically loaded,
this module may conflict with the kernel, since several COMPAT_xx options
are enabled in GENERIC by default. So you get the same functions twice.
