It's there because the kernel expects certain fields to be long but
POSIX requires them to be int. Thus the syscall wrapper has to copy
the userspace struct (with int and padding) to a kernel-format struct
(with the padding filled with 0's so it's a valid long).

Nope, this is not valid. See above.
