You say "less complex", but to me it just looks "different" - though being very familiar with the original, that might be a biased view. Can you say more about how it is less complex? Maybe the extension to generic 64bit support will make that clear... But then generic 64bit support should just be an independent set of helper functions that can be plugged in to the export_operations structure. For what it does, the code looks fine, and I can see some definite improvements here and there, but I'm not clear on the over-all motivation.
