Should we replace that pad[16] with:
__u64 size;
where 'size' is the size of the structure as seen by userspace? This is
used in other UAPIs (see struct sched_attr for example) and is a bit
more robust for future extensions (e.g. an 'old' kernel can correctly
reject a newer version of the struct with additional fields it doesn't
know about if that makes sense, etc).
