Hmm, that is indeed tricky. I think COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP4 rightfully
refuses the loff_t argument here, as the common case is that this is
not possible.
It works if I apply the following patch, I defined the wrong `__TYPE_IS_xxx`
yesterday. Should we merge this into ILP32 series or send the compat.h
and syscalls.h individually? The current series of ILP32 is a little bit
long and hard to review.

I think it's wrong, as loff_t is 64-bit in 32-bit userspace, and this
will clear meaningful data in top halve.
Yes. It is my fault. The original thoughts is clear the up 32bit for size_t.
How should we skip the loff_t?
