The arguments to the KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl include a pointer,
therefore it needs a compat ioctl implementation. Otherwise,
32-bit userspace fails to invoke it on 64-bit kernels; for x86
it might work fine by chance if the padding is zero, but not
on big-endian architectures.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
