Along with some comment which documents that the size "flags" constitute
a number field and not flags in the sense of binary flags.
And please name these size constants so it really becomes obvious:
#define FUTEX2_SIZE_U32 2

That should be part of the actual 64bit futex enablement, no?

In hindsight I think it was as mistake just to have this __u32 flags
field in the new interface. Soemthing like the incomplete below might be
retrofittable, no?

If this muck already confused me right now, then I don't want to
experience the confusion factor 6 month down the road :)
