OK.

Because the patched code will work with less assumptions and the patch
isn't big or complex and introduces no additional code paths, just
rearranges things.  It also has more unified logics: if 32-bit compat
is present and ioctl fits into its range -- do that.  If ioctl fits
into the native driver ioctl range -- do that.  Otherwise -- bail out
with an error.  And "if" conditions are more uniform w.r.t. check
for value of "nr".
