This comment says it all:
1352    glebius         261882  /*
1353                    * XXXGL: this is what happens when internal kernel
1354                    * structures are used as ioctl API structures.
1355                    */

So, one way could be to use a union for the states:
union {
        struct {
                counter_u64_t states_cur;
                counter_u64_t states_tot;
                counter_u64_t src_nodes;
        } k;
        struct {
                uint64_t states_cur;
                uint64_t states_tot;
                uint64_t src_nodes;
        } u;
} u;

The other option is to cast through uintptr_t...

Even though it'd make the code a bit more ugly, I'd vote for the union,
since it's designed for what the code is trying to do...
