I think the cast looks less ugly than using a union to morph it around.
I want the schid with all fields filled out anyway, since this is what
identifies the subchannel.

Probably :)

Well, we could do full-blown IDAW handling to get to 64bit addresses -
which would need a lot of extra code in the host. I doubt whether it
would be worth it.
(Well, we'll probably want IDAWs sometime in the future - I just think
it's overkill for those tiny snippets.)
