Why not using fixed-size fit-all members?

struct ncr_session_input_data {
	__u64 data;		/* user pointer, cast to/from u64 */
	__u32 data_size;	/* or __u64? */
};

struct ncr_session_output_buffer {
	__u64 buffer;
	__u64 result_size_ptr;	/* can't this be a direct output member? */
	__u32 buffer_size;	/* or __u64? */
};

And then get rid of all the COMAPT code paths.
