--- Comment #10 from Andreas Dilger (adilger.kernelbugzilla@...ger.ca) ---
IMHO, adding a new syscall for this is a lot of complexity that could be
avoided.  Using an ioctl() or fadvise() to set the "32-bitness" of the file
descriptor would seem like a simpler implementation that could be handled
directly by an ext4 patch rather than having to change every architecture just
to pass this flag.

Then, in the cases that QEMU is running in the confusing "I want 32-bit values
returned from a 64-bit system call" mode, it would call the ioctl(fd,
FS_IOC_32BITHASH) once before calling getdents64(fd, ...).
