[parisc-linux] what's up with the ipc syscalls?

Ah! that explains it.... that change was not brought forward to 2.6...
i was wondering why my test worked on 2.4 and failed on 2.6....

anyway, if we are only supporting IPC_64, then why mask off the IPC64
bit in the wrapper? if the ipc/utils.c stuff isn't there, wouldn't it
default to doing the right thing when IPC_64 is set?

right now glibc *doesn't* call the syscall with IPC_64, but i'm about to
make it do that again.

thanks,
randolph
