The layout of `struct
kern_log_entry' may be problematic. Think of the situation where a 64-bit kernel constructs one of these and sends it up to 32-bit userspace. Will the structure layout be the same under the 32-bit compiler as under the 64-bit one?
No it won't. Best is to order the fields by size (arrays ordered by their subtype). This should always give compatible alignment.
