Currently, a CUSE server running on a 64-bit kernel can tell when an ioctl request comes from a process running a 32-bit ABI, but cannot tell whether the requesting process is using legacy IA32 emulation or x32 ABI. In particular, the server does not know the size of the client process's `time_t` type. For 64-bit kernels, the `FUSE_IOCTL_COMPAT` and `FUSE_IOCTL_32BIT` flags are currently set in the ioctl input request (`struct fuse_ioctl_in` member `flags`) for a 32-bit requesting process. This patch defines a new flag `FUSE_IOCTL_COMPAT_X32` and sets it if the 32-bit requesting process is using the x32 ABI. This allows the server process to distinguish between requests coming from client processes using IA32 emulation or the x32 ABI and so infer the size of the client process's `time_t` type and any other IA32/x32 differences.
