And while you are at it, the sg3_utils user space copy of
include/linux/unaligned/*.h (called sg_unaligned.h) has bindings
for 48 bit operations.

Checking my sg3_utils code, in VPD page 0x83 (mandatory device
identification page) the EUI-64 based 16-byte designator has a
6 byte field (the "vendor specific extension identifier").
Also the SET TIMESTAMP and REPORT TIMESTAMP commands have a 6 byte
timestamp field. There are also some attribute pages associated with
the READ ATTRIBUTE command that have 6 byte fields.


A recent trend with the pages returned by the SCSI LOG SENSE command
is to have (big endian) fields whose length (in bytes) is encoded
in the response. I have this function for those:

/* Returns 0 if 'num_bytes' is less than or equal to 0 or greater than
  * 8 (i.e. sizeof(uint64_t)). Else returns result in uint64_t which is
  * an 8 byte unsigned integer. */
static inline uint64_t sg_get_unaligned_be(int num_bytes, const void *p)

And I can see NVMe code in smartmontools using that one:

nvmeprint.cpp:   jrns["eui64"]["ext_id"] =
                                 sg_get_unaligned_be(5, id_ns.eui64 + 3);
