Just to confirm my understanding; I've got these as:

struct seccomp_notif {
	__u32                      len;                  /*     0     4 */
	__u32                      pid;                  /*     4     4 */
	__u64                      id;                   /*     8     8 */
	__u8                       signaled;             /*    16     1 */

	/* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */

	struct seccomp_data        data;                 /*    24    64 */
	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 24 bytes ago --- */

	/* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 5 */
	/* sum members: 81, holes: 1, sum holes: 7 */
	/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};
struct seccomp_notif_resp {
	__u32                      len;                  /*     0     4 */
	__s32                      error;                /*     4     4 */
	__u64                      id;                   /*     8     8 */
	__s64                      val;                  /*    16     8 */

	/* size: 24, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};

in the next version. Since the structure has no padding at the end of
it, I think the Right Thing will happen. Note that this is slightly
different than what Kees suggested, if I add signaled after data, then
I end up with:

struct seccomp_notif {
	__u32                      len;                  /*     0     4 */
	__u32                      pid;                  /*     4     4 */
	__u64                      id;                   /*     8     8 */
	struct seccomp_data        data;                 /*    16    64 */
	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */
	__u8                       signaled;             /*    80     1 */

	/* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 5 */
	/* padding: 7 */
	/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};

which I think will have the versioning problem if the next member
introduces is < 7 bytes.
