Using indirect pointers in an ioctl command argument means that the
layout is architecture specific, in particular we can't use the same one
from 32-bit compat tasks. The general recommendation is to have __u64
members and use u64_to_user_ptr() to access it from the kernel if we are
unable to avoid the pointers altogether.

Fixes: f8941e6c4c71 ("xen: privcmd: Add support for irqfd")
Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@kernel.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/268a2031-63b8-4c7d-b1e5-8ab83ca80b4a@app.fastmail.com/
