I guess using an array (with at compile time fixed size)
of __u32 (or maybe __u64 on 64bit archs) would be a good
solution to make it 'compatible' with the current interface
(for the lower 32 bit) and allow to use an interface which
can handle arbitrary sizes for the 'new' syscall interface

best,
Herbert
