First of all, did you verify that this actually makes a difference?
Please post the actual assembly output with and without this patch.
If it does make a difference, you should avoid doing ifdefs as they
are more likely to cause build failures. Instead do something like
if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_64BIT))
len -= sizeof(u32);
Cheers,
