__attribute__((packed)) isn't entirely correct here. You don't really
want to have the whole structure to have byte alignment, you only
want to reduce the alignment o fthe 64 bit members to 32 bit.
It would be more appropriate to define a separate type
#if defined(__x86_64__) || defined(__ia64__)
typedef unsigned long long __compat_u64 __attribute__((aligned(4)));
#else
typedef unsigned long long __compat_u64;
#endif
and use that in the data structures.

Your copy() operation looks really dangerous, it will break as soon as someone
tries to use it on a member that is actually variable length, like a pointer.
A better way would be
#define move_user(p32, p64, memb) ({ \
typeof(p32->memb) data; \
get_user(data, &p64->memb) || \
put_user(data, &p32->memb); \
})
Actually, even better would be not to use the compat_alloc_userspace trick
at all, but to just interpret the 32 bit data structure directly in the
implementation instead of converting it to the 64 bit structure, whereever
that's possible.
