Simple reason: the userland application in question is a 32bit application,
not the native 64bit application, while the kernel is 64bit. 64bit apps
don't need any translations, 32bit apps run in 32bit emulation. So, we are
of course not going to change it to int, just add ioctls playing with that
structure into our 32bit compatibility layer.
