The following 3 patches change the userspace interface. Backward
compatibility is not retained, the library must be upgraded to
2.3-pre1 or later. The library will support both the old and the new
ABI versions. Filesystems dynamically linked with libfuse don't need
to be recompiled.

The main reason for the change is that the current interface was not
compatible between 32bit and 64bit modes of dual architecures.
The patches are:
1/3 - Add padding to structures to make sizes the same on 32bit and
64bit archs
2/3 - Add offset to fuse_dirent structure. This will make the
readdir interface more flexible
3/3 - Change ABI major version from 5 to 6, and check if userspace
supports the new interface
