Both patches look fine to me. You can add my:

Unrelated to this patch set, but we really should make that 0xffff a
named define. Something like this perhaps?

#define DYNAMIC_OFFSET_MASK 0xffff
#define DYNAMIC_LENGTH_SHIFT 16

and even add:

#define dynamic_offset(num) ((num) & DYNAMIC_OFFSET_MASK)
#define dynamic_length(num) ((num) >> DYNAMIC_LENGTH_SHIFT)

and use these macros instead.

Again, this has nothing to do with the acceptance of this patch set.
Just something that this patch set reminds me that we should do.
