Subject: [PATCH] scsi: aic7xxx: fix unintended sign extension on left shifts

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Shifting a u8 left will cause the value to be promoted to an integer. If
the top bit of the u8 is set then the following conversion to an u64 will
sign extend the value causing the upper 32 bits to be set in the result.

Fix this by casting the u8 value to a u64 before the shift.  The commit
this fixes is pre-git history.
