Isn't it specifically *not* using the same structure layout for
32 and 64 bit? The struct below uses abi_ulong, which has a
different size for the two cases, so the structure layout will
differ. The 'asm generic' version of the struct (which QEMU defines
in syscall.c) is the one which is the same for both 32 and 64 bit
because it adds the explicit padding for the TARGET_ABI_BITS=32 case.

This does seem to be what the kernel does, though, so

if you clarify the comment.
