So far binfmt_flat has only been supported on 32-bit platforms, so the variable size of the fields didn't matter. But the upcoming RISC-V nommu port supports 64-bit CPUs, and we now have a conflict between the elf2flt creation tool that always uses 32-bit fields and the kernel that uses (unsigned) long field. Switch to the userspace view as the rest of the binfmt_flat format is completely architecture neutral, and binfmt_flat isn't the right binary format for huge executables to start with. While we're at it also ensure these fields are using __be types as they big endian and are byte swapped when loaded.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
