There is something here that will not work on s390 (31bit): the arguments
would end up in:
fd -> r2
mode -> r3
offset -> r4 + r5
len -> r6 + second halve on stack

But the s390 ABI says that a long long will be put into two consecutive
registers if the first register is smaller than 6, or it will be put
completely on the stack. So both 32 bit parts of len will end up on the
stack. That would make it a syscall with seven arguments which we currently
don't support on s390. There is no way to access the second half of len
from kernel space and that is why it is not working for you.
So you either rearrange the parameters or convert the loff_t's to pointers.

e.g.

asmlinkage long sys_fallocate(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int mode)

would work even on s390 ;)
