For s390, I'd love to see progress in the consolidation. Feel free to submit changes for arch/s390x/kernel/ioctl32.c directly, like Stephen Rothwell does for the syscall32 consolidation. Of course, Martin has the last word here, but I'm rather sure he agress with me in this.
If you want access to an s390x system, you can probably get access to one at http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/os/linux/lcds/ or install the hercules emulator. I try to keep working kernel tree at http://linux-390.bkbits.net/, but the 32 bit emulation has been broken for most of 2.5.
Note that for any ioctls that pass pointers, you will need special massaging for the high order bit of the user space pointer, because s390 only has 31 bit pointers, not 32 bit.
