Excellent question.

I thought the issue was this:

        IB_DEVICE_ON_DEMAND_PAGING              = (1 << 31),

Because (1<<31) is also technically undefined if 1 is signed, which,
IIRC, is a compiler choice.. But you are right, all the other ones
look OK.

Mellanox, so what does this *actually* do??

That isn't allowed by the standard. The compiler cannot truncate enum
values.
