Note that the individual patches are IMO significantly easier to review
through the actual 32-bit => 64-bit variable assignment changes done
in isolation (which sometimes include minor cleanups), while
the Coccinelle semantic patch:
{ a(b,c) => c = a(b) }
which changes both the function signature and the order of terms as
well, is just a single add-on treewide patch.
