Another structure that is not 32/64 bit ABI safe on x86. It would be safe
if you reorder the members as

struct cr_hdr_mm {
	__u32 tag;	/* sharing identifier */
	__s16 map_count;
	__u16 pad; /* not actually needed, but better to make it explicit */
	__u64 start_code, end_code, start_data, end_data;
	__u64 start_brk, brk, start_stack;
	__u64 arg_start, arg_end, env_start, env_end;
};

same here.
