OK, read the thread; Matthew is right. What you propose would pretty much destroy compat ioctl handling within the driver. You need a compat handler for MEGASAS_IOC_FW.
With your current patch you'd get a failure both from a 64 bit binary running on x86-64 and if someone ran the x86 binary on ia64.
The driver already uses the compat infrastructure, it shouldn't be too hard to add this in the correct manner.
