So we have one more case of comparision involving f_type:

[acme@zoo linux]$ find tools/ -type f | xargs grep -w f_type
tools/lib/api/fs/fs.c:	else if (st_fs.f_type != magic)
tools/lib/api/fs/debugfs.c:	else if (st_fs.f_type != (long) DEBUGFS_MAGIC)
[acme@zoo linux]$

Do we have to apply the same fix to that other case as well?
Interestingly it does it on a different way, that by your description
above would make it fail on 32-bit systems, no?
