Ok, I don't know exactly what you're talking about, but I have in the
past tried to hack that area as well. It's probably a good idea to
pick up my old patch and work from there, by making these two file systems
understand all possible ways:

#ifdef __KERNEL__
/* anything the user may be passing to us */
#define NCP_IOC_GETMOUNTUID16 _IOW('n', 2, u16)
#define NCP_IOC_GETMOUNTUID32 _IOW('n', 2, u32)
#define NCP_IOC_GETMOUNTUID64 _IOW('n', 2, u64)
#else
/* what the user is _supposed_ to pass */
#define NCP_IOC_GETMOUNTUID _IOW('n', 2, __kernel_old_uid_t) /* 16/32 bit */
#define NCP_IOC_GETMOUNTUID2 _IOW('n', 2, unsigned long) /* 32 or 64 bit */
#endif

int ncp_ioctl(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp, ...)
{
...
switch (arg) {
...
case NCP_IOC_GETMOUNTUID16:
case NCP_IOC_GETMOUNTUID32:
case NCP_IOC_GETMOUNTUID64:
{
unsigned long tmp = server->m.mounted_uid;

if ((file_permission(filp, MAY_READ) != 0)
&& (current->uid != server->m.mounted_uid)) {
return -EACCES;
}
switch (arg) {
#ifdef CONFIG_UID16
case NCP_IOC_GETMOUNTUID16:
SET_UID(tmp, server->m.mounted_uid);
if (put_user(tmp, (u16 __user *)argp))
return -EFAULT;
#endif
case NCP_IOC_GETMOUNTUID32:
if (put_user(tmp, (u32 __user *)argp))
return -EFAULT;
#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
case NCP_IOC_GETMOUNTUID64:
if (put_user(tmp, (u64 __user *)argp))
return -EFAULT;
}
#endif
return 0;
}
}
...
}

I'm also posting the two patches I made a long time ago as a reference.
