These look inconsistent. I can see how you picked the
alpha and mips numbers, but how did you come up with
the generic and parisc ones? Can you follow the existing
scheme instead?

This structure requires a special compat handler to run
x86-32 binaries on x86-64 because of the different alignment
requirements. Any uapi-visible structures should be defined
to avoid this and just have no holes in them. Maybe extend
one of the __u32 members to __u64 or add another 32-bit padding field?
