Well ... this was debated a while ago ad nauseam: http://marc.info/?t=117699555300010 The main objection to what you propose is that it forces the u64 coercion even in the 32 bit start_blk case. The preferred solution as a result of that debate was simply to us a macro Andrew introduced: upper_32_bits() Which will silently replace zero in the non LBD case. I actually thought this had already been done.
