Something like this works for you?

Note: we should promote __compat_[us]64 to a global type when we do the
cleanup work requested by Linus (change __[us]64 to explicitly aligned
types, with all users that require the old types using __compat_[us]64),
but we need the compiler warning to do that, realistically.
