It makes sense (copied below, just for compat_sys_sendfile until my
comments below are clarified). One minor improvement, I think we should
use compat_size_t for the count, it is a u32 in all cases.

That's what we do on AArch64, though powerpc and sparc define their own.
The "count" argument would be different between compat and non-compat
versions and I'm not sure what assumptions are made on the syscall entry
path on these architectures (on AArch64 we ensure that the top 32-bit
part of an X register is always 0 for 32-bit syscalls).

Another difference is that the "count" argument for
compat_sys_sendfile64 is s32 on powerpc and u32 on sparc. I can't tell
whether it would make a difference in practice but if we use
compat_size_t for the generic version the powerpc wouldn't get the sign
extension.

Powerpc has some comment about a need to treat in_fd/out_fd arguments as
signed ints but I don't fully understand it (well, maybe powerpc needs
the sign to be fully extended to 64-bit even for int).

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add generic compat_sys_sendfile implementation

This function is used by other architectures requiring compat support,
so just make it generic.
