And using plain:

	((u32)(((u64)x) >> 32))

doesn't work for MSD() because?  Shifting right by 16 bits
twice is pointless, and even more importantly confusing.

This is poorly formatted and full of magic constants with absolutely
no explanation.

Poor formatting.

More poor formatting, use tabs to line up the define values
so that it's easier to read by humans (and therefore easier
to spot bugs).

Same goes for the rest of the defines added by this patch.

I'm not even going to look at the rest of this patch series,
please fix up these fundamental code formatting issues,
check for them in the rest of your changes, and resubmit
the whole series.

Thanks.
