The problem indeed exists:

ia32:
sizeof(fs_qfilestat) = 0x14
sizeof(fs_quota_stat) = 0x44

x86_64:
sizeof(fs_qfilestat) = 0x18
sizeof(fs_quota_stat) = 0x50

Note, that the difference between sizes of fs_qfilestat on ia32 and
on x86_64 doesn't equal 8 bytes, as was expected (by me :)), but equals 12 bytes:
'cause of padding at the end of fs_quota_stat structure on x86_64.

I will add support of 32-bit XFS quotactl over 64bit OS in next patch.

Thank you!
