But you are changing the ioctl structures here, what is that going to cause with old programs?

I am going to require Acks from someone on the Android team to accept this, or any other 64bit binder patch, given all the back-and-forth that has happened with the different patch sets here over the past year or so.
Until then, I can't take this (and I think this patch is still broken...)

Are you sure this isn't supposed to be a union?

How does this not break existing user/kernel code if only one of them gets rebuilt with this new header file? You just changed the ABI here, not nice...
