These UAPI changes break strace compilation (older versions). Up until
Feb 2021 strace had compile time asserts that check-ed sizeof() ->reserved
fields.

  static_assert failed due to requirement
   '(sizeof (((struct v4l2_create_buffers *)0)->reserved)) >= (sizeof (((struct_v4l2_create_buffers *)0)->reserved))'
   "Unexpected struct v4l2_create_buffers.reserved size, please update the decoder"

It seems that strace has dropped those assertions

But we, probably, need to use unions in UAPI. Any thoughts?
