There isn't a separate __s32 *values pointer, the actual memory layout
from kernel's POV would be:
__u32 code;
__u32 num_values;
__s32 values[0];
__s32 values[1];
...
__s32 values[63];

Yes, I think we do the same with other ioctls as well.

This is a user pointer, you can't really do it in straightforward way...

Hmm, might avoid this one... Userspace can do EVIOCGABS to get number of
slots and then it will know how much data EVIOCGMTSLOTS will return...
