I don't feel much like an expert here, but I can certainly make up an
opinion anyway :)
Since 64bits kernels allow usb devio with interface numbers up to 63, I
guess you need __u64 to avoid limiting the range? Limiting will create
all sorts of followup problems, so it's definitely easiest to just go
with __u64.
