Sure, they can be split, the only reason they are this way is to keep
API/ABI in sync between the kernel code and the user space one.

Patch #3 doesn't change the API/ABI, it only fixes the implementation
in terms of compat handling (and it is more straightforward),
that is why I decided to have it separately. The compat handling
of addrs, on the other hand, can't be fixed without the ABI change.
