Pad the uAPI definition so that it would align identically between 64-bit and 32-bit uarch, so consumers using this header will work correctly from 32-bit compat userspace on a 64-bit kernel. Do it in a minimally invasive way, so that 64-bit userspace will still work with the previous header, and so that no fields suddenly change sizes. Originally inspired by mlankhorst.

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.
