SG_GET_REQUEST_TABLE is now the last ioctl command that needs a conversion handler. This is only used in a single file, so the implementation should be there. I'm trying to simplify it in the process, to get rid of the compat_alloc_user_space() and extra copy, by adding a put_compat_request_table() function instead, which copies the data in the right format to user space.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
