Why would this part fail if we did?  The header itself is used in
kernel code that's routinely compiled as 64-bit (so there should be
nothing specifically wrong with the header file), and code that's
consistently compiled everywhere as 64-bit should have no trouble with
size_t.

The implication is that something _else_ out in user space is
assigning that 'length' field to or from an 'int', and any place such
a thing exists would I think be a bug.  That is, not a problem with
this header file, but with some client application not respecting the
usage of 'size_t'.

Probably missing some context here ... such as build logs.
