I was going to say that "that's not possible", since we actually have
64-bit arguments at least in the form of "loff_t __user *".
But when I started looking, it turns out that yeah, we do
"copy_from_user()" on them, and instead made the x86 copy_from_user()
have special cases for constant sizes.
So a 8-byte copy_from_user() is fine. It ends up being a "get_user()"
on x86 anyway.
