LGTM.

Please be aware that the Linux kernel may have definitions for some
of these structures (it doesn't for this one, I checked) which conflict.
The way we fix this is via coordinated header inclusion guards, but
the kernel is ahead of us and not coordinating on libc-alpha. If we 
change the include guards, there might be similar changes required in
linux/include/uapi/linux/libc-compat.h.
