Hmm, this block isn't really good. We should probably work to remove
this. Not sure why I left that in, actually. At a minimum, it'd probably
good to make this noisier, so if we see this in practice, we can work to
fix those cases.
But anyway, the patch is good (though 'uintptr_t' might be slightly
better), so pushed to l2-mtd.git.
