In general, on a 64-bit architecture, the AUX area buffer size could be a bigger than fits in a 32-bit type, but the calculation does not allow for that possibility. However the aux_watermark value is recorded in a u32, so should not be more than U32_MAX either. Fix by doing the calculation in a correctly sized type, and limiting the result to U32_MAX.
