The 32/64 bit split should be straight-forward to handle for the head;
an xdp_buff is 6*sizeof(void)+8 bytes long, and xdp_page_head is just
two of those after this patch. The skb_shared_info size is a bit harder;
do we have the alignment / size macros available to userspace somewhere?

Hmm, the selftests generate a vmlinux.h file which would have the
structure definitions; maybe something could be generated from that? Not
straight-forward to include it in a userspace application, though.

Otherwise, does anyone run the selftests on architectures that don't
have a 64-byte cache-line size? Or even on 32-bit arches? We don't
handle larger page sizes either...
