Something like
if (sizeof(blah) > 4) {
do all the assignments with shifts
}
might be slighly better since the CDB is already zeroed
by cmd_alloc() and doesn't need to be zeroed a 2nd time.

It's not such a bad option. The sizeof() test is compile time
determinable, so the compiler simply zeros the fields in the
CONFIG_LBD=n case and does the shift for CONFIG_LBD=y. It certainly
never compiles to four inline condition checks.
