That was explicitly defined, but OK, this isn't necessarily defined
here.

So, at this moment, I'm not sure whether we should correct the struct
at all.  This will lead to yet more breakage, and basically the struct
itself *works* -- the only bug is in 32bit compat handling in the
kernel (again).

The below is a revised kernel patch (again untested), just correcting
the behavior of 32bit compat mode.  32bit apps on 32bit kernel work
fine as is, as well as 64bit apps on 64bit kernel.
