It would be good to also fix the "raw" access of split 48-bit and 64-bit
fields as I previously sent to the list.  A new typedef for these fields
(on disk) would ensure that they are not accessed directly and give
compiler warnings if new patches don't have the right macro usage.

That overflows 80 columns, as do several other lines.
