This data structure is not 32/64 bit safe: running a 64 bit kernel with 32 bit
user space will see an incompatible layout.

One way to solve this is to remove the pointer and just start the array
directly after the __u32 members. Alternatively, you can use a __u64
to pass the pointer in an integer representation.

A nicer interface from the data structure perspective would be to
get rid of the array altogether and always return exactly one face.
