C defaults to int, so make definition of BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE 64 bit
safe as it and BDRV_SECTOR_MASK may be used against 64 bit addresses.

Thanks, applied to the block branch.

Candidate for stable too?

It should be safe to apply, but I didn't find any current users where
the mask was applied in a way where it was causing problems. Not sure if
you want the noise, or apply it as better safe than sorry?

Cheers,

The only use in fact is this:

         addr = qemu_get_be64(f);
         flags = addr & ~BDRV_SECTOR_MASK;

which is safe since the ~~ cancels to give back 511 again.  So 
nevermind, just asking.  If there are no bugs related to it it seems 
just as safe not to apply it.

That is correct, which is why I don't think it is necessary for the
stable release. However I want to see the fix in upstream as the macro
is likely to get used for other things in the future and it's a hidden
bug waiting to happen.

Cheers,
Jes
