As David Miller wrote analogous code was used at least last 10 (may be
15) years in global.c. We could rid off double these days because gcc
supports long long now. Long ago 64-bit int support was not guaranteed.
Doesn't look like anyone else had said this yet, so just to be on
the safe side...
My understanding is that we still can't assume "long long" exists across
the board, because we need to be compatible with non-gcc C90 compilers.
Uses of "long long" would need to be conditional and would need to have
a pure C90 fallback.
