Nice!

I have an older patch doing the same for sys_mount() somewhere,
but never got around to send that. One day we should see if we
can just do this for all of them.

I would expect that the "#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT" can be removed
now, since compat_ptr() and in_compat_syscall() are now defined
unconditionally. I have not tried that though.

Maybe move it to arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c or arch/x86/entry/syscall_x32.c
to keep it out of the common code if this is needed. I don't really understand
the comment, why can't this just use this?
