I am very very sorry, I forgot to even test building. Please pretend
this patch was never submitted.

> Our ulist data structure stores at max 64bit
> values. qgroup has used this structure to store
> pointers. In the future when we upgrade to 128bit
> this casting of pointers to uint64_t will break.
>
> This patch adds a BUILD_BUG ensuring that this
> code will not be left untouched in the upgrade.
>
> It also marks this issue on the TODO list so it
> may be addressed before such an upgrade.
