Mark 32-bit subreg region with max value because do_refine_retval_range() catches functions with int return type (We will assume here that int is a 32-bit type). Marking 64-bit region could be dangerous if upper bits are not zero which could be possible. Two reasons to pull this out of original patch. First it makes the original fix impossible to backport. And second I've not seen this as being problematic in practice unlike the other case.
