Bah!  It's not exactly rocket science to create exactly that sort of 
simple support.  One is doing no more than a little bit of arithmetic 
and ending up with a value to plonk into a field of the sffsi 
structure.  One merely has to ensure that the "L" entrypoints cannot end 
up with anything at the end of their calculations that's outwith the 
possible range of 32-bit values that the non-"L" entrypoints could have 
calculated, and fail appropriately in such cases.  The hard parts are 
(a) finding the documentation for the sffsi structure that is passed to 
the "L" entrypoints, and (b) having the "L" entrypoints do *more* than 
their 32-bit equivalents.
