Hey Stephen,

Thanks for looking into it a bit deeper! This seems a bit of a pickle.
I can think of a few somewhat hacky ways to fix this.

I can just set the flags to check `if FS_IOC32_*; set FS_IOC_*;`,
which is the quickest but kinda hacky.

I can go with the other plan of dropping the irrelevant bytes from the
cmd code, so all codes will be read as u16. This effectively does the
same thing, but may be unclear.

I can also look into whether this can be solved at the LSM or a higher
level. Perhaps the filesystems setting `if FS_IOC32_*; set FS_IOC_*;`
is a hint that something else interesting is going wrong.

I'll spend a little time thinking and investigating and get back with
a more concrete solution. I'll also need to do a bit more robust
testing; it built on my machine!

Thanks!
