I just use the same type as the bytes argument without mature
consideration. If unsigned long is better than size_t, I'll
change the return type.

This works perfectly on little-endian machines. But it doesn't work
on big-endian machines, if the bottom edge of memory area is not
aligned on long word boundary.
