Re: [RFC v2 8/8] drm: tegra: Add gr2d device

Hi Dave:

I'm new in kernel development. Could you tell me or give me some
materials to read that why we need to align the size of IOCTL structures
to 64bit? I can understand if we're working in a 64bit kernel but why we
need to do this if we're in a 32bit arm kernel? Besides, why the
pointers in IOCTL structure should be declared as u64?
