powerpc 32-bit system call (and function) calling convention for 64-bit
arguments requires the next available odd-pair (two sequential registers
with the first being odd-numbered) from the standard register argument
allocation.
The first argument register is r3, so a 64-bit argument that appears at
an even position in the argument list must skip a register (unless there
were preceding 64-bit arguments, which might throw things off). This
requires non-standard compat definitions to deal with the holes in the
argument register allocation.
With pt_regs syscall wrappers which use a standard mapper to map pt_regs
GPRs to function arguments, 32-bit kernels hit the same basic problem,
the standard definitions don't cope with the unused argument registers.
Fix this by having 32-bit kernels share those syscall definitions with
compat.
Thanks to Jason for spending a lot of time finding and bisecting this
and developing a trivial reproducer. The perfect bug report.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
