Also on sparc64 the kernel is 64-bit but the userspace is only 32-bit,
so there's a conversion for anything passed from userspace to kernel via
ioctls.
I had the filesystem working ok on an Ultra1 but most of the userspace
utils were broke (SIGBUS all over the place) and I'm far from competent
enough to begin thinking about fixing them.
