Build testing with -Wpadded shows a structure that is incompatible
between 32-bit and 64-bit x86 userspace:
./usr/include/linux/amd-pmf.h:202:1: error: padding struct size to alignment boundary with 4 bytes [-Werror=padded]
Use the 64-bit padded on all architectures here to avoid both
the warning and allow compat ioctl handling.
Fixes: 98432eec3180 ("platform/x86/amd/pmf: Add util layer and userspace character device interface")

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo-next branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-next branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
FYI [if applicable to your patch], as per Linus' policy change, also
fixes are mostly routed through for-next unless the fix is for a
commit introduced in the most recent cycle or is clearly a regression
fix.
