From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Going through compat_alloc_user_space() to convert indirect system call
arguments tends to add complexity compared to handling the native and
compat logic in the same code.

I have patches for all other uses of compat_alloc_user_space() as well,
and would expect that we can subsequently remove the interface itself.

Changes in v2:

- address review comments from Christoph Hellwig
- split syscall removal into a separate patch
- replace __X32_COND_SYSCALL() with individual macros for x32

Arnd Bergmann (4):
  kexec: simplify compat_sys_kexec_load
  mm: simplify compat_sys_move_pages
  mm: simplify compat numa syscalls
  compat: remove some compat entry points
