    Use the 32-bit compat keyctl() syscall wrapper on Sparc64 for Sparc32 binary
    compatibility.
    
    Without this, keyctl(KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE_IOV) is liable to malfunction as it
    uses an iovec array read from userspace - though the kernel should survive this
    as it checks pointers and sizes anyway.
    
    I think all the other keyctl() function should just work, provided (a) the top
    32-bits of each 64-bit argument register are cleared prior to invoking the
    syscall routine, and the 32-bit address space is right at the 0-end of the
    64-bit address space.  Most of the arguments are 32-bit anyway, and so for
    those clearing is not required.
