Summary:                    [patch] ioctls from 32bit userspace on 64bit kernel
Description: 
Create a 32bit system on (chroot_dir/ , for this example) of a 64bit
system. 
Connect a DAHDI device and load its drivers.

On Debian/Ubuntu amd64:

  debootstrap --arch=i386
--insclude=build-essential,subversion,libreadline5-dev,libssl-dev,libnewt-dev
SUITE chroot_dir
  chroot chroot_dir
  # and build asterisk

(SUITE is the name of the distro to install: lenny, sid, testing,
unstable, jaunty, hardy, etc.)

Now run:

  mount -o bind /dev chroot_dir/dev
  chroot chroot_dir
  mount /proc
  mount /sys
  dahdi_genconf
  dahdi_cfg

The last command will generate errors:

DAHDI_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 1: Invalid argument (22)

Such a case should probably be handled through a compat_ioctl
(linux/compat.h). More reading is needed :-)

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Saved off two patches that allow at least 32-bit dahdi_tool to work.

I believe the DAHDI_SFCONFIG ioctl is the only one that will need to be
adapted differently in the .compat_ioctl call since there are long members
in the attached structure (which would be different sizes in a 32-bit
userspace and 64-bit kernel).
