If you mean the 32bit version of the ioctl struct
(btrfs_ioctl_encoded_io_args_32), I don't think we can fix it. It's been
there from the beginning and it's not a mistake. I don't remember the
details why and only vaguely remember that I'd asked why we need it.
Similar 64/32 struct is in the send ioctl but that was a mistake due to
a pointer being passed in the structure and that needs to be handled due
to different type width.
