Subject[PATCH] remove getname32
Hi Linus,

OK, arch/ppc64/kernel/sys_ppc32.c has a getname32 function. The only
difference between it and getname() is that it calls do_getname32()
instead of do_getname() (see fs/namei.c). The difference between
do_getname and do_getname32 is that the former checks to make sure that
the pointer it is passed is less that TASK_SIZE and restricts the length
copied to the lesser of PATH_MAX and (TASK_SIZE - pointer). do_getname32
uses PAGE_SIZE instead of PATH_MAX.

arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c defined a getname32(), but nothing used it.

This patch removes both.
