ANDROID: fuse/passthrough: API V2 with __u32 open argument
The initial FUSE passthrough interface has the issue of introducing an ioctl which receives as a parameter a data structure containing a pointer. What happens is that, depending on the architecture, the size of this struct might change, and especially for 32-bit userspace running on 64-bit kernel, the size mismatch results into different a single ioctl the behavior of which depends on the data that is passed (e.g., with an enum). This is just a poor ioctl design as mentioned by Arnd Bergmann [1]. Introduce the new FUSE_PASSTHROUGH_OPEN ioctl which only gets the fd of the lower file system, which is a fixed-size __u32, dropping the confusing fuse_passthrough_out data structure.
