Well, no matter where it is defined, could we please make it a bit
easier for folks to find it in the future?

I was more concerned that this structure could change sizes if it were
compiled on 32-bit versus 64-bit code. For kernel ABIs, we try not to
do that.
Is this somehow OK when talking to firmware? Or can a 32-bit OS and
64-bit firmware never interact?
