This looks dangerous: due to 64-bit alignment requirements the
v4l2_event struct may end with a 4-byte hole at the end of the struct,
which you do not want to copy to ev32.

I think it is safer to just copy id and reserved separately:

ev32.id = ev->id;
memcpy(ev32.reserved, ev->reserved, sizeof(ev->reserved));

Shouldn't this be under #ifdef __KERNEL__?

And should this be in the public header at all? media/v4l2-ioctl.h might be a better
place.
