The patch looks technically correct, but you have defined the structures
in a somewhat unusual way. I'd have defined them with
attribute((packed, aligned(4))) in the end.

Or even better, we should probably add a

typedef unsigned long long __attribute__((aligned(4))) compat_u64;

for x86 compat and use that instead of compat_uint_t foo[2].
