   * general notes:
   *
   * CONFIG_UID16 is defined if the given architecture needs to
   * support backwards compatibility for old system calls.
   *
   * kernel code should use uid_t and gid_t at all times when dealing with
   * kernel-private data.
   *
   * old_uid_t and old_gid_t should only be different if CONFIG_UID16 is
   * defined, else the platform should provide dummy typedefs for them
   * such that they are equivalent to __kernel_{u,g}id_t.
   *
   * uid16_t and gid16_t are used on all architectures. (when dealing
   * with structures hard coded to 16 bits, such as in filesystems)

   * This is the "overflow" UID and GID. They are used to signify uid/gid
   * overflow to old programs when they request uid/gid information but are

   * When you run a libc5 program, it will think that all highuid files or
   * processes are owned by this uid/gid.
   * The idea is that it's better to do so than possibly return 0 in lieu of
