Unfortunately (and this a rather serious shortcoming of the generator)
you cannot add fields to an existing struct and maintain backwards
binary compatibility.  Let's not worry about this bit right now
though, I need to think about what to do a bit more.

Don't need this -- see below.

It's probably better to use the functions from <endian.h> like
'be32toh', 'le32toh' etc.  We already use them, eg. in
src/inspect-fs-windows.c.

Can a malicious RPM in the guest cause an infinite loop in the host?

Good, this seems like a considerable improvement.

Don't use "(none)".  If you need a special value, use either "" or
"unknown" (I suspect in this case empty string), and document it in
the API (generator/actions.ml).

Does it work?
