So you either rearrange the parameters or convert the loff_t's to pointers.

e.g.

asmlinkage long sys_fallocate(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int mode)

would work even on s390 ;)

... but wouldn't work on 32-bit powerpc. :(  We would end up with a
pad argument between fd and offset, giving 7 arguments in all
(counting the loff_t's as 2), but we only support 6.
