One general question to patches regarding this - what's the major benefit
of using uint64_t?

It doubles the possible numbers to hold, but it's already 64bits so I don't
think it matters a lot.  The thing is we're removing some code trying to
detect negative which seems to be still helpful to detect e.g. overflows
(even though I don't think it'll happen).  I just still think it's good to
know when overflow happens, and not sure what I missed on benefits of using
unsigned here.

I've reviewed all the rest patches and all look good here.

Thanks,
