I even thought about a totally different solution:

Could we write some sample code with all those structs
and system calls, compile it once for each target, and
get all information we need from the resulting binaries
(using tools like pahole, for example)?

For the moment, I think my patch is sufficient (it is also
needed for QEMU 1.6!).
