Clemens points out that we need to use compat_ptr() in order to safely cast from u64 to addresses of a 32-bit usermode client. Before, our conversion went wrong - in practice if the client cast from pointer to integer such that sign-extension happened, (libraw1394 and libdc1394 at least were not doing that, IOW were not affected) or - in theory on s390 (which doesn't have FireWire though) and on the tile architecture, regardless of what the client does. The bug would usually be observed as the initial get_info ioctl failing with "Bad address" (EFAULT).
