	Both are GET operations. The problem that can happen only
on 64-bit platforms is that user will attempt copy_to_user() with
shorter buffer and will get EFAULT if there are so many entries to
return. On 32-bit size will be -1 and will not match *len (EINVAL).
So, I assume the issue is not critical, right?

	%zu, %lu fails on 32-bit platforms. Please, send v2
fixing the format.
