From: H.J. Lu <hjl.tools@gmail.com>
This patch set changes a number of places where the kernel headers are exported to user space and currently use explicit "long" or "unsigned long" to use __kernel_[u]long_t in order to be compatible with the x32 user space ABI. These location are places where x32 uses the x86-64 ABI.
It is quite possible that some, or even all, of these locations should really use dedicated types, but in the meantime this gives the correct results which the current headers do not.
