The rules that I've been using is ``shit in, shit out'', that is I never
try to catch arguments that aren't valid for 32-bit syscalls like
passing addresses that aren't valid in a 32-bit world.  That means that
many system calls don't need wrappers.

TASK_SIZE is the size of a native, that is 64-bit process in our case.
We only need to consider the size of a 32-bit process for
TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE which we do already.
