eek, no!  Don't write common kernel functions in a driver just because
some configuration option was incorrect.  That implies that you really
can't do that type of read/write for that platform, so maybe you
shouldn't be doing it!

Split this up into one patch that does the 32bit stuff, then worry
about the 64bit stuff in a separate patch please.

thanks,
