IMHO all these sizes should be size_t and there are a few places where
we should add "const" specifier to pointers. But I refrained from
"fixing" these up in an effort to keep things as close to the downstream
implementation as possible.

If Andy agrees I'm hoping that we can take this version and then follow
up with a separate patch, making the review more explicit and make it
easier to track down any potential regressions from such a change.

Thank you for the review!

Regards,
Bjorn
