Erm, Fujitsu-laptop "depends on X86" - so which machine does this affect?

I presume this is an issue on 32b builds when BIT()'s use of a shifted 1UL
causes the problem, combined with call_fext_func casting a ULL value into an int
for return.

The proper fix here looks fairly invasive. Please consider a minimal fix for the
RC cycle.

Please send this as a separate fix.
