Sure, but igt_pipe is not a uabi structure. By storing a uint64_t here
we're making it needlessly opaque what the value is actually meant to
be - which is the address of a 64-bit signed integer.
Regardless, tests cannot set out_fence_ptr to the address of an int, I
hope we can agree on that. Where that detail gets taken care of I
don't much mind - but this code as-is is incorrect.
By making igt_pipe.out_fence_ptr an (int64_t *) I thought we'd be
letting the compiler warn anyone else away from incorrect code.

Allowing the kernel and userspace to have different ideas about how
big an int is doesn't sound so silly to me. It may not be a
theoretical problem forever.
