Well, not good, some ioctls have different numbers on 32 and 64 bit:
struct v4l2_ext_controls {
         __u32 ctrl_class;
         __u32 count;
         __u32 error_idx;
         __u32 reserved[2];
         struct v4l2_ext_control *controls;
};
#define VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS      _IOWR ('V', 71, struct v4l2_ext_controls)
as an example.

And alignment is a problem here (v4l2_std_id is u64):
struct v4l2_standard {
         __u32                index;
         v4l2_std_id          id;
         __u8                 name[24];
         struct v4l2_fract    frameperiod; /* Frames, not fields */
         __u32                framelines;
         __u32                reserved[4];
};
which results in different ioctl numbers too.
