Hi folks

Is there a reason why both 32 and 64Bit kernel have __kernel_ino_t 32bit wide? Any other arches have it matching the word size.

I don't think there is a reason and my machine does not complain if I change it the 64Bit __kernel_ino_t to "unsigned long". But what about the comment in the header file that the types are used by userspace? Can we easily change that without breaking things?
