Probably, but the code is pierced with the sizeof(u32) and alike, moreover
size_t is architecture-dependent type, while the set of macros in decode.h
seems to operate on the fixed-width type. That said, I prefer my way of fixing
this. But if you find another, better one, I am all ears!

*Also note, I'm not familiar with the guts of the ceph, so maybe your solution
is the best, but I want more people to confirm this.
