That's no problem. In fact, 32bit syscall entry code zero extends already in
assembly, so handling this is really a nop.

That's the only problem I'd have with autofs and that's why it was not
working. I was thinking about overriding the f_ops of the pipe file
descriptor, so that it points to a special write method which would do the
conversion of the structure before sending it over the pipe, but your
autofs_wqt_t patch is of course much better, as it does not need additional 
code and complexity. Thanks.

Cheers,
