Thanks for checking.  I saw block stuff and that typically does involve
a 64bit value somewhere along the way.  So if the answer is:
- There's no 64-bit math here, really.
- There's no existing shift macros we can use instead (or that ends up
  being larger!)
- There's no existing shift macros we just need to import from the
  kernel.

Then we're good.
