uapi/headers: Provide types_32_64.h
Provide helper macros for fields which represent pointers in kernel-userspace ABI. This facilitates handling of 32-bit user-space by 64-bit kernels by defining those fields as 32-bit 0-padding and 32-bit integer on 32-bit architectures, which allows the kernel to treat those as 64-bit integers. The order of padding and 32-bit integer depends on the endianness.
