There is no need to burn a 4-byte field if this is inside the setup area, as that is limited to ~32K anyway. Since this structure is a static ABI, it should have a way to grow it (a length field is usually a good choice.)

What are the semantics of these fields? If they are supposed to be distribution-independent, they need semantics defined, otherwise they might better be a distro-specific use field.
