It's OK to add fields to existing requests, this doesn't break
backwards compatibility. In fact that's one of the reasons for the
fixed request size. So as long as there is still some room in the
request buffer it's not a problem (and yes CreateProcess is an
exception, and will be fixed before the protocol is really frozen).
