  Grant> Why is __u64 defined as "unsigned long" and not "unsigned long long"?

Because that's the way it is for pretty much every other 64-bit
UNIX-like platform.  64-bit UNIX/Linux platforms existed long before
"long long" was widely supported.

Just cast "i" to (unsigned long long) and the code will be fine.
