I'll take a look at it...

also... I think once the COMPAT_43 is vanished from linuxolator we can also
remove CMOPAT_43 from GENERIC and (possibly) put COMPAT_43TTY there instead of
it....

COMPAT_43 hurts performance and also the code it ifdefs might not be well
tested etc. definitely a thing to remove  :)
