As structure with implicit padding has the problem of possibly leaking
kernel stack data. It's better to make the padding explicit here so you
can zero it from the kernel. Also, as I mentioned in the other patch,
you probably need a new data structure and ioctl command number
to keep compatiblity with the old interface.
