    xen: Make struct privcmd_irqfd's layout architecture independent
    
    [ Upstream commit 8dd765a5d769c521d73931850d1c8708fbc490cb ]
    
    Using indirect pointers in an ioctl command argument means that the
    layout is architecture specific, in particular we can't use the same one
    from 32-bit compat tasks. The general recommendation is to have __u64
    members and use u64_to_user_ptr() to access it from the kernel if we are
    unable to avoid the pointers altogether.
