There is currently an inconsistency between C and Rust, which is that when Rust requires cfg(CONFIG_COMPAT) on compat_ioctl when using the compat_ptr_ioctl symbol because '#define compat_ptr_ioctl NULL' does not get translated to anything by bindgen. But it's not *just* a matter of translating the '#define' into Rust when CONFIG_COMPAT=n. This is because when CONFIG_COMPAT=y, the type of compat_ptr_ioctl is a non-nullable function pointer, and to seamlessly use it regardless of the config, we need a nullable function pointer. I think it's important to do something about this; I've seen the mistake of accidentally forgetting '#[cfg(CONFIG_COMPAT)]' when compat_ptr_ioctl is used multiple times now. This explicitly declares 'bindings::compat_ptr_ioctl' as an Option that is always defined but might be None. This matches C, but isn't ideal: it modifies the bindings crate. But I'm not sure if there's a better way to do it. If we just redefine in kernel/, then people may still use the one in bindings::, since that is where you would normally find it. I am open to suggestions.
