I've expanded that paragraph now:

| Aside from the warning, this addresses a bug on 32-bit architectures
| from incorrect argument passing with the mismatched prototype:
| BPF_CALL_x() functions use 64-bit arguments that are passed in
| pairs of register or on the stack on 32-bit architectures, while the
| normal function uses one register per argument.

Let me know if you think I should put more details in there.

Fixed now.
