The fact that these are the prototypes for the system calls doesn't
necessarily mean we should use the same for the userlevel code.  The
question is: is there the *potential* that any of the interfaces might
need to be extended?  I think the only contender would be the MASK
parameter of inotify_add_watch.  If yes, we probably should use
something wider than a 32 bit type.
