David, where can I find the git branch this patch was applied to? I don't see
it anywhere in security-keys or linux-security.
I recently added KEYS_COMPAT to arm64 (5c2a625937ba); that should be reverted
after this patch.
Also, I'd like to submit a follow-on patch that removes KEYS_COMPAT and simply
uses COMPAT.
And the parisc architecture doesn't use compat_sys_keyctl() in its compat
syscall table, so that should be fixed too (though that's not a new bug).
