You can test this by running a 32-bit binary on a machine with a 64-bit kernel.
E.g. on x86_64, compile a binary with 'gcc -m32'.

This won't work because f2fs_ioc_gc_range() expects a user pointer.  You'll need
to make the native and compat versions do the copy from user separately, and
have them call a helper function that takes a pointer to the argument in kernel
memory.
