+ * The semid64_ds structure for x86 architecture.
+ * Note extra padding because this structure is passed back and forth
+ * between kernel and user space.
+ *
+ * semid64_ds was originally meant to be architecture specific, but
+ * everyone just ended up making identical copies without specific
+ * optimizations, so we may just as well all use the same one.
+ *
+ * 64 bit architectures typically define a 64 bit __kernel_time_t,
+ * so they do not need the first two padding words.
+ * On big-endian systems, the padding is in the wrong place.
+ *
+ * Pad space is left for:
+ * - 64-bit time_t to solve y2038 problem
+ * - 2 miscellaneous 32-bit values
