IMO plain __u64 is better than games with __aligned_u64 - all sizes are

Do you want that series folded into "open: introduce openat2(2) syscall"
and "selftests: add openat2(2) selftests" or would you rather have them
appended at the end of the series. Personally I'd go for "fold them in"
if it had been about my code, but it's really up to you.
