Looks pretty good to me, just a few nits I like to pick:

For the compat_ioctl stuff, we don't have the function pointer inside an
#ifdef, the overhead is relatively small since there is only one of these
structures per module implementing a protocol, but it avoids having to
rebuild everything when changing CONFIG_COMPAT.

It's probably not a big issue either way, maybe davem has a stronger opinion
on it either way.

You don't need to add new <linux/config.h> includes any more, these are
automatic now.

see above, same for some more of these.

Declarations don't belong inside #ifdef.
