Each of these drivers has a copy of the same trivial helper function to convert the pointer argument and then call the native ioctl handler.
We now have a generic implementation of that, so use it.
I'd rather flipped your #7 (ceph_compat_ioctl() introduction) past that one...
The idea was to be able to backport the ceph patch as a bugfix to stable kernels without having to change it or backport compat_ptr_ioctl() as well.
If you still prefer it that way, I'd move to a simpler version of this patch and drop the Cc:stable.
