and below is the macro expansion for the automatically generated 32bit to
64bit io_pgetevents. I believe it is casting u32 to s64, which appears
to mean there is no sign extension. I don't know if this is the expected
behaviour?

For the manually written compat version we cast back to s32 which is
what fixes the issue.
