Seems from the dissassembly that COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx supplied from
either asm/syscall_wrapper.h or linux/compat.h issue casts to the
type specified in the signature of the compat handler. In which case,
after the patch which expresses all such handlers with COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE,
we should be able to get rid of these high-order word clears.

The casting macro used in each case is as follows:
#define __SC_DELOUSE(t,v) ((__force t)(unsigned long)(v))
