If a compat syscall can ever legitimately return a non-error value with
bit 31 set, and this sign-extends it, is that ever going to reach
userspace as a 64-bit value?

IIUC things like mmap() can return pointers above 2GiB for a compat
task, so I'm a bit uneasy that we'd handle those wrong. I can't see a
way of preventing that unless we keep the upper 32 bits for errors.

Mark.
