This feels kinda fragile. We want the compiler to do the validation
work for both the normal and compat ioctl structures. Just
specifying two sizes doesn't actually do that.

i.e. this really needs to check that the structure size is the same
on all 64 bit platforms, the compat structure is the same on -all-
platforms (32 and 64 bit), and that the the structure size is the
same as the compat structure size on all 32 bit platforms....

If that's your goal, then this needs to be validating the compat
structures are the correct size, too.
