For statfs64 (both native and compat) that would do nicely; for statfs,
however...  The following describes the field sizes in all that mess:

        kstatfs	statfs          statfs64        compat_statfs compat_statfs64
       		!s390   s390   !s390   s390
type:   W	W       32      W       32              32      32
namelen:W	W       32      W       32              32      32
flags:  W	W       32      W       32              32      32
bsize:  W	W       32      W       32              32      32
frsize: W	W       32      W       32              32      32
blocks: 64	W       64      64      64              32      64
bfree:  64	W       64      64      64              32      64
bavail: 64	W       64      64      64              32      64
files:  64	W       64      64      64              32      64
ffree:  64	W       64      64      64              32      64
fsid:   __kernel_fsid_t on all

First of all, nobody gives a fuck about type, namelen and flags
overflows - can't happen.

blocks/bfree/bavail/files/ffree: can overflow in plain statfs on 32bit
and in compat statfs.  For files/ffree we also have "-1 means (s32)-1,
not an overflow" there.

bsize/frsize: can oveflow in anything on s390 or mips64 and any compat on anything

Oh, and then there's signedness - in compat_statfs64 everything's unsigned,
but for compat_statfs a bunch of those 32bit ones are signed.  Native on
32bit tend to be unsigned; native on 64bit and compat are often signed.
IMO that's a bug - compat ones should all be same as native 32bit.
As it is,
	arm, parisc, ppc, sparc, x86: on 32bit - unsigned, compat on 64bit - signed
	mips: both signed
	s390: both unsigned
I think we want to switch compat_statfs fields on the first group to u32.  These
declarations are not exposed to userland anyway.  mips is interesting - I've no
idea how does mips32 userland react to e.g. statfs() on 3G block filesystem...
