I am not sure it even works fine on 32bit. Just yesterday I discovered
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608042

I get this when using gstreamer with my UVC based camera

request == VIDIOC_STREAMOFF
result == 0
libv4l2: v4l2 unknown munmap 0xb6d45000, 38400
libv4l2: v4l2 unknown munmap 0xb6d3b000, 38400

I verified that buffer address and size is correct. The libv4l code for 
v4l2_munmap could be a bit more verbose in the case of an error ...
