Subject: llseek compatibility

This code:

	if (old_calling_standard (regs)) {
		printk (KERN_NOTICE "%s (%d): unsupported llseek call standard\n",
			current->comm, current->pid);
		return -EINVAL;
	}

is causing problems when libc is compiled with particular versions of GCC.  
The `old_calling_standard' heuristic is spuriously firing and causing the call 
to fail.

As far as I know there are no extant binaries still using this old calling 
standard.  I would like to see the code removed from 2.2 kernels; it already 
seems to be gone in 2.3.

Does anybody have any objection to this?
